Abstract

This working paper deals with the U.S. approach for governing the safety of offshore oil and gas operations and preventing major accidents during exploratory drilling and production. It evaluates the statutory and regulatory framework, and agency implementation and reliance on industrial standards, and then suggests reforms to improve the efficacy of this governance system. References are made to the blowout at the drilling rig operated by British Petroleum to support the evaluation and reforms. References are also made to Norwegian laws and regulations governing oil and gas operations in the North Sea. As one of the world’s largest sources of offshore oil and natural gas, Norway has achieved a high level of safety and offers a proven alternative approach for consideration in the development of an improved U.S. approach. Several additional sections are being developed to complete this working paper.

防止海上油气作业事故:美国方法和挪威方法的一些对比特点
本工作文件涉及美国管理海上油气作业安全以及防止勘探钻井和生产过程中发生重大事故的方法。它评估了法律和监管框架,机构实施和对行业标准的依赖,然后提出改革建议,以提高这一治理体系的有效性。以英国石油公司钻井平台井喷事故为例,为评价和改革提供参考。还参考了挪威有关北海油气作业的法律法规。作为世界上最大的海上石油和天然气来源之一,挪威已经实现了高水平的安全,并为美国改进方法的发展提供了一种经过验证的替代方法。正在编写另外几个章节以完成这份工作文件。
