The Technology Assessment & Research Program
supports research associated with operational safety and pollution prevention as
well as oil spill response and cleanup capabilities.

Technology Assessment & Research (TA&R;)
|
Operational Safety and Engineering Research
-
activities address technological issues associated with the complete
spectrum of operations, ranging from the drilling of exploratory wells
to the removal and decommissioning of platforms and related production
facilities. |
|
Oil Spill Response Research
-
provides research leadership to improve the capabilities for
detecting and responding to an oil spill in the marine environment. |
|
TA&R; Projects -
all TA&R projects and reports. |
|
OTRC -
the Offshore Technology Research Center at Texas A&M University. |
|
Ohmsett -
the National Oil Spill Response Test Facility.
|
|
TA&R; Workshops -
the TA&R Program sponsors workshops with various industry
organizations to exchange information; to identify concerns and
problems; technology transfer; set future research needs; and review
recent accomplishments.

Oil Spill Modeling Program
- assesses oil-spill risks associated with energy activities off the U.S.
continental coast and Alaska, calculating spill trajectories and contact
probabilities. |
|
Environmental Studies -
goals are to establish the information needed for the assessment and management
of environmental impacts; to predict impacts on the marine biota that may
result from chronic, low-level pollution or large spills; and to monitor
human, marine, and coastal environments to provide time series and data
trend information. |
