The Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement (BSEE) is a regulatory agency in the United States responsible for enforcing safety and environmental regulations for offshore drilling and production operations in federal waters. Established in 2011, the agency’s primary mission is to ensure the safety of workers and the protection of the environment during oil and gas operations on the Outer Continental Shelf (OCS). The BSEE is responsible for overseeing all aspects of offshore drilling and production, from permitting and inspection to environmental compliance and spill response. The agency’s regulations cover a wide range of topics, including drilling equipment and systems, well design and construction, workplace safety, and pollution prevention and response. In addition to enforcing regulations, the BSEE also conducts research and develops new technologies to improve safety and environmental protection. The agency works closely with industry stakeholders, other federal agencies, and state and local governments to develop best practices and effective regulatory frameworks. Overall, the BSEE plays a critical role in ensuring the responsible development of offshore energy resources in the United States while protecting workers and the environment.
