The blowout of the Macondo well on April 20, 2010, led to enormous consequences for the individuals involved in the drilling operations, and for their families. Eleven workers on the Deepwater Horizon drilling rig lost their lives and 16 others were seriously injured. There were also enormous consequences for the companies involved in the drilling operations, to the Gulf of Mexico environment, and to the economy of the region and beyond. The flow continued for nearly 3 months before the well could be completely killed, during which time, nearly 5 million barrels of oil spilled into the gulf. Macondo Well-Deepwater Horizon Blowout examines the causes of the blowout and provides a series of recommendations, for both the oil and gas industry and government regulators, intended to reduce the likelihood and impact of any future losses of well control during offshore drilling. According to this report, companies involved in offshore drilling should take a "system safety" approach to anticipating and managing possible dangers at every level of operation-from ensuring the integrity of wells to designing blowout preventers that function under all foreseeable conditions-in order to reduce the risk of another accident as catastrophic as the Deepwater Horizon explosion and oil spill. In addition, an enhanced regulatory approach should combine strong industry safety goals with mandatory oversight at critical points during drilling operations. Macondo Well-Deepwater Horizon Blowout discusses ultimate responsibility and accountability for well integrity and safety of offshore equipment, formal system safety education and training of personnel engaged in offshore drilling, and guidelines that should be established so that well designs incorporate protection against the various credible risks associated with the drilling and abandonment process. This book will be of interest to professionals in the oil and gas industry, government decision makers, environmental advocacy groups, and others who seek an understanding of the processes involved in order to ensure safety in undertakings of this nature.

The development of offshore oil, gas, and other mineral resources in the United States is impacted by a number of interrelated legal regimes, including international, federal, and state laws. International law provides a framework for establishing national ownership or control of offshore areas, and domestic federal law mirrors and supplements these standards. Governance of offshore minerals and regulation of development activities are bifurcated between state and federal law. Generally, states are primary in the three geographical mile area extending from their coasts. The federal government and its comprehensive regulatory regime governs, on the other hand, those minerals located in federal waters, which extend from the states' offshore boundaries out to at least 200 nautical miles from the shore. The basis for most federal regulation is the Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act (OCSLA), which provides a system for offshore oil and gas development planning, leasing, exploration, and ultimate development. Regulations run the gamut from health, safety, and environmental standards to requirements for production based royalties and, when appropriate, royalty relief and other development incentives. Several contentious legal issues remain the subject of national debate and legislative proposals. Bills that would open more areas to oil and gas leasing compete with legislation that would permanently ban drilling in areas that are currently under leasing moratoria. The role of the coastal states in deciding whether to lease in areas adjacent to their shores is also an issue that has received recent attention, with some legislative proposals granting significant decisional authority to state governments while others would direct the Secretary of the Interior to lease specific areas, limiting the state role to what is provided under existing statutes. In addition to these legislative efforts, there has also been significant litigation related to offshore oil and gas development. Cases handed down over a number of years have clarified the extent of the Secretary's discretion in deciding how leasing and development are to be conducted. Also, pending litigation brought by the KerrMcGee Corporation is challenging the legal authority of the Secretary to suspend royalty relief for certain deep water leases. The outcome of this litigation could result in a substantial loss of royalty income for the United States with estimates ranging from $18 to $28 billion over the next five years.
