This research identifies key factors, or safety culture categories, that can be used to help describe the safety culture for the offshore oil and gas industry and develop a comprehensive offshore safety culture assessment toolkit for use by the US Gulf of Mexico (GoM) owners and operators. Detailed questionnaires from selected safety culture frameworks of different industries were collected and analyzed to identify important safety culture factors and key questions for assessment. Safety frameworks from different associations were investigated, including the Center for Offshore Safety (COS), Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement (BSEE), and the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB). The safety culture factors of each of these frameworks were generalized and analyzed. The frequency of the safety culture factors in each framework was analyzed to explore commonality. The literature review and analysis identified a list of common factors among safety culture frameworks.

Purpose This paper aims to provide details of underwater robot technology and its applications. Design/methodology/approach Following an introduction, this article first discusses remotely operated vehicle (ROV) technology and applications and then considers their use in the emerging field of deep-sea mining. It then discusses autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) technology and its applications, including sub-sea gliders. Finally, brief concluding comments are drawn. Findings ROVs were first developed in the 1950s for military applications. They are now widely used by the offshore oil and gas sector and other industries and are being developed for deep-sea mining. AUV technology has progressed rapidly in recent years and AUVs, including sub-sea gliders, are now emerging from their original role in oceanographic research and finding growing uses in the defence and offshore energy sectors. Originality/value This provides a detailed insight into underwater robot technologies, products and applications.

An offshore survey and environmental assessment was conducted on the Brunei continental shelf offshore oil and gas concession area in 2000–2001. The results of the comparison of the environmental effects of previous ocean disposal of oilbased mud (OBM), water-based mud (WBM) and ester-based synthetic mud (ESBM) was used to prepare guidelines for atsea disposal of mud and cuttings based on the sensitivity of the receiving environment. The ranking, in terms of sensitivity of environmental components are as follows: 1) Shallow coral reefs; 2) Deep reefs; 3) Juvenile shrimp nursery areas; 4) Adult shrimp shallow coastal areas; 5) Adult shrimp mid-shelf areas; 6) the Brunei continental shelf; and, 7) Continental slope and deep water. Detailed instructions are presented for the handling and disposal of WBM and ESBM for each offshore zone. The guidelines are presented in a user-friendly format and provide: description of the environmental zone and it’s sensitivity; the disposal management strategy including options for disposal in order of preference; and requirements for planning, disposal and recommended monitoring and follow-up.
