Since the Deepwater Horizon catastrophe in 2010, significant progress has been made in developing safer and more environmentally responsible offshore energy operations. However, injuries, deaths, and near-miss events continue to occur, and there is still much room for the understanding and reduction of risk. Fellows who are selected for the ECRF Offshore Energy Safety track will contribute to understanding, managing, and reducing systemic risk to offshore energy production and transportation.

Rice University: Houston Flooding Polluted Reefs More Than 100 Miles Offshore
Targeted News Service (Press Releases)
HOUSTON, Texas,
Runoff from
Houston s 2016 Tax Day flood and 2017 s Hurricane Harvey flood carried human waste onto coral reefs more than 100 miles offshore in the Flower Garden Banks National
Marine Sanctuary, according to a
Rice University study. We were pretty shocked, said marine biologist
Adrienne Correa, co-author of the study in Frontiers in Marine Science. One thing we always thought the Flower Garden Banks were safe from was terrestrial runoff and nutrient pollution. It s a jolt to realize that in these extreme events, it s not just the salt marsh or the seagrass that we need to worry about. Offshore ecosystems can be affected too.
