Onshore & Offshore Upstream Oil & Gas Operations: Federal Auditing Guide
Specialty Technical Publishers, May 2013
Onshore and Offshore Upstream Oil and Gas Operations: Federal Auditing Guide is designed to be used to ensure effective regulatory compliance with the hundreds of complex Federal Department of Interior (DOI) environmental, health and safety (EHS) regulatory requirements facing businesses that explore for and extract oil and natural gas (referred to as “upstream oil and gas operations").
This Upstream Audit Guide has two primary purposes. First, the Guide provides subscribers with a comprehensive protocol that can be used to ensure that audits and internal assessments thoroughly identify all the federal regulatory compliance challenges facing upstream oil and gas operations. Second, the Guide also serves as a concise reference source for information on EHS, DOI regulatory issues, agency interpretations and guidance, facility compliance responsibilities and good management practices—all resources that can be used to help your facility efficiently and effectively maintain ongoing environmental compliance.
