May 17, 2017 Trade Associations Joint Letter to the Department of the Interior on its Secretarial Order 3350 & Blowout Preventer Systems and Well Control Rule Review
The American Petroleum Institute (API), the International Association of Drilling Contractors (IADC), the Independent Petroleum Association of America (IPAA), the National Ocean Industries Association (NOIA), the Offshore Operators Committee (OOC), the Petroleum Equipment & Services Association (PESA), and the US Oil and Gas Association are pleased to see the Administration and the Department of the Interior (DOI) continuing to take strides to put in place a lasting, domestically-focused energy policy that will help the U.S. “maintain the Nation’s position as a global energy leader.” For too long the U.S. has been hampered by the lack of a strong domestic oil and natural gas energy policy. The oil and natural gas industry is committed to developing and producing domestic energy resources for the benefit of all Americans and doing so in a safe and environmentally sound manner.
