ther Incidents - Statistics and Summaries 2007-2010

Effective July 17, 2006, MMS revised the regulations for incident reporting incidents other than fatalities, injuries, losses of well control, fires/explosions, collisions, and spills. Currently the following other incidents must be reported:

  • All incidents involving structural damage to an OCS facility. “Structural damage” means damage severe enough so that operations on the facility cannot continue until repairs are made.
     
  • All incidents involving crane or personnel/material handling operations.
     
  • All incidents that damage or disable safety systems or equipment (including firefighting systems).
     
  • All gas releases that initiate equipment or process shutdown.
     
  • All incidents that require operations personnel on the facility to muster for evacuation for reasons not related to weather or drills;
     
  • All other incidents, not listed above that result in property or equipment damage greater than $25,000.

NOTE: Incidents may be counted in more than one category.  For example, a gas release might also have required a Muster for Evacuation.  This incident would be counted in both categories.  There is one exception -- see note @ below.

***Effective July 17, 2006, MMS revised the regulations for Incident Reporting.  Previous to that date, most incidents in this "Other" category were not specifically required to be reported.

#Effective July 17, 2006, MMS required that incidents resulting in  > $25,000 property/equipment damage be reported.  The incidents in this category shown on this chart include only those incidents that do not fall into another reportable category.

@These are incidents reported to MMS that do not fall into any specific reportable category.
