Abstract:This 2017 annual report, produced by the Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS) with data submitted to the SafeOCS program by oil industry operators, presents information on specific equipment component failures occurring on production facilities in the Gulf of Mexico. The SafeOCS program is a resource to help industry members capture and share key lessons from significant near misses and other safety events. Its objective is to identify, prevent, and mitigate potential high-consequence risks by measuring and analyzing failure data while protecting the anonymity of the data providers (e.g. operators and manufacturers). The SafeOCS program started in August 2013 through an Interagency Agreement between BTS and the Department of the Interior's Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement (BSEE). In November 2016, the SafeOCS program was expanded through a memorandum of understanding (MOU) between BSEE and BTS to include reporting of safety and pollution prevention equipment (SPPE) failure reports as mandated by the Oil and Gas Production Safety Final Rule. The interagency agreement between BSEE and BTS requires BTS to publish a report on analysis results, modifications made to the data collection process, lessons learned, and emerging trends based on collected data. This report is the first annual report for SafeOCS SPPE and covers the analysis of failure notifications in 2017 as mandated by the Production Safety Systems Rule. Other key information on operational impact, failure causes, and possible data improvement opportunities is also included in this report. The data analyzed includes failure notifications submitted directly to BTS through SafeOCS or provided to BTS by BSEE.
