The BSEE uses the information to
ensure safe drilling operations and to protect the human, marine,
and coastal environment. Among other things, BSEE specifically uses
the information to ensure: the drilling unit is fit for the
intended purpose; the lessee or operator will not encounter
geologic conditions that present a hazard to operations; equipment
is maintained in a state of readiness and meets safety standards;
each drilling crew is properly trained and able to promptly perform
well-control activities at any time during well operations;
compliance with safety standards; and the current regulations will
provide for safe and proper field or reservoir development,
resource evaluation, conservation, protection of correlative
rights, safety, and environmental protection. We also review well
records to ascertain whether drilling operations have encountered
hydrocarbons or H2S and to ensure that H2S detection equipment,
personnel protective equipment, and training of the crew are
adequate for safe operations in zones known to contain H2S and
zones where the presence of H2S is unknown.
