Safety and Environmental Management Systems - Oil and Gas and Sulphur Operations in Outer Continental Shelf (US Bureau of Ocean Energy Management Regulation) (BOEM) (2018 Edition) The Law Library presents the complete text of the Safety and Environmental Management Systems - Oil and Gas and Sulphur Operations in Outer Continental Shelf (US Bureau of Ocean Energy Management Regulation) (BOEM) (2018 Edition). Updated as of May 29, 2018 This final rule establishes a new subpart under the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, Regulation and Enforcement (BOEMRE) regulations to require operators to develop and implement Safety and Environmental Management Systems (SEMS) for oil and gas and sulphur operations in the Outer Continental Shelf (OCS). This rulemaking will incorporate in its entirety and make mandatory the American Petroleum Institute's Recommended Practice 75, Development of a Safety and Environmental Management Program for Offshore Operations and Facilities, with respect to operations and activities under the jurisdiction of BOEMRE. This final rule will apply to all OCS oil and gas and sulphur operations and the facilities under BOEMRE jurisdiction including drilling, production, construction, well workover, well completion, well servicing, and DOI pipeline activities. The importance of this final rule is highlighted by the Deepwater Horizon event on April 20, 2010. Although the cause of the event is presently under investigation, it further illustrates the importance of ensuring safe operations on the OCS. BOEMRE believes that requiring operators to implement SEMS will reduce the risk and number of accidents, injuries, and spills during OCS activities.
