Abstract:The 2020 Annual Report Highlights: Well Control Equipment Systems Safety, produced by the Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS), provides information on well control equipment (WCE) failures that occurred in the course of rig well operations in the Gulf of Mexico (GOM) Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) during the calendar year. SafeOCS is a BTS confidential reporting program for collecting and analyzing data to advance safety in offshore energy operations. This report is based on information collected through SafeOCS and includes an analysis of reported events involving WCE systems, including blowout preventer (BOP) equipment. Additionally, BTS reviewed BSEE Well Activity Report (WAR) data to estimate equipment and activity levels and identify and evaluate stack pull events. Data in this report is presented by WCE system type (subsea or surface) and by when the event occurred (in-operation or not-in-operation). The terms subsea and surface reference the type of applicable BOP system, not the equipment’s location (above or below the waterline) at the time of failure. This report does not cover every WCE failure event in the GOM OCS in 2020, as some events were not reported to SafeOCS.
