Offshore oil and gas: Final annual report on shut-in and flaring wells

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5968622
GAO believes that the Department of the Interior's methodology for allowing Outer Continental Shelf Oil and gas wells to be shut in or to flare natural gas is reasonable. GAO also believes the elimination of Interior's reporting requirement will not diminish its responsibility for administering mineral exploration and development and conserving the natural resources of the OCS.
