| Description |
This project is an
attempt to determine if CO is a hazard to OCS workers during well
perforating operations. Several people have died during onshore perforating
operations, and these deaths may have been caused by CO. A kick-off meeting
was held in Camarillo on November 9, 1999. The principal investigator was
able to gather information from MMS and State of California personnel, and
then speak with lawyers familiar with suits resulting from the onshore
deaths. |
| Progress |
The final report of
this project was presented to the Pacific OCS Region on October 5, 2000. The
final report was given to MMS on October 29, 2001. |
