The OOC is a non-profit organization comprised of any person, firm or corporation owning offshore leases and/or engaged in offshore activities. The Committee's activities are focused on supporting its member companies in operations that protect human health and the environment.
Gulf of Mexico Region Director Herbst gave the OOC a regulatory update, spoke about production trends in the Gulf of Mexico, and detailed unsafe incidents. He also spoke about challenges for the future, including managed pressure drilling and high pressure high temperature environments.
