HOUSTON – Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement (BSEE) SEMS Section Chief Stan Kaczmarek delivered a presentation at the Ocean Energy Safety Institute’s (OESI) forum 'Taking SEMS to the Next Level,' held July 29 at the University of Houston.
OESI convened the forum to facilitate dialogue between industry, academia, regulators, and non-governmental organizations about the future of SEMS, inviting presenters and facilitators from various organizations to speak. BSEE took this opportunity to further engage with stakeholders regarding their SEMS concerns and suggestions for improving regulations as the oil and gas industry embarks on ventures with new technical and organizational challenges.
The agency will review OESI’s published report on the 'Taking SEMS to the Next Level' forum in its continued effort to improve the SEMS program and ensure that effective safety measures play an essential role in the culture of all OCS operators.
