Chapter 24 in BP and the Macondo Spill, 2011, pp 209-213 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract The Minerals Management Service, renamed the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, Regulation, and Enforcement shortly after the spill, is a collection of 1,700 employees that regulate those industries which extract oil and minerals from the nation’s outer continental shelf. It collects more than $13 billion per year from oil royalties. It has also been a lightning rod for controversy for years.
