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 appreciate the opportunity on March 21, 2016, to meet with representatives from OIRA and other federal agencies regarding the proposed rule from the Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement (BSEE) addressing offshore Blowout Preventer Systems and Well Control. We felt that the discussion was productive, and we hope that the government representatives in attendance found the information useful in their work to improve this important rule.
