Monitoring
Oil Spill Preparedness The
majority of activities undertaken by BOEMRE during the regulation and
oversight of oil and gas exploration, development, and production
operations in the OCS are devoted to spill prevention. BOEMRE is responsible
for verifying that operators of facilities that handle, store, transport
or produce oil from facilities located not only in the OCS but also in
state waters are capable of responding to spills from their facilities,
whether the spill constitutes a minor event or is characterized as their
worst case discharge scenario.
