NOIA Welcomes Oil and Gas Production Safety System Improvements
Washington, D.C. – NOIA President Randall Luthi issued this statement following the release of the revised Oil and Gas Production Safety System regulations:
“NOIA welcomes the common-sense approach by the Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement (BSEE) in improving the Oil and Gas Production Safety System regulations. The revisions develop a rule that reduces unnecessary burdens placed on industry, while still maintaining world-class safety and environmental protections. We have a rule that is not a safety rollback, but instead incorporates modern technological advances.”
