BSEE (Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement)

The Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement (BSEE) is a U.S. government agency responsible for ensuring safety and environmental protection in offshore energy operations, particularly oil and gas drilling. Created after the Deepwater Horizon oil spill in 2010, BSEE develops regulations, conducts inspections, and oversees compliance to prevent accidents and minimize environmental impacts. It also investigates incidents to improve safety practices. Overall, BSEE plays a crucial role in balancing energy needs with environmental protection and public safety in offshore activities.
