BSEE seeking oil spill research proposals

The Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement, or BSEE, has announced that it is seeking proposals for new oil spill response research projects. The agency says it has $7 million available in 2014 to support projects that it selects. The deadline for submission of proposals is Jan. 20.

Research topics must fit within 10 general subject areas that BSEE has specified. These subject areas include cataloguing key research programs, recommendations and findings; developing planning standards for the use of dispersants and burn boom; the use of remote sensing for detecting spilled oil; the mechanical recovery of chemically treated oil; making some enhancements to BSEE’s Ohmsett testing facility; developing “smart” skimming technologies; and establishing definitions for the readiness of oil spill response equipment.

“This announcement continues and enhances BSEE's commitment to a comprehensive research program dedicated to improving oil spill response operations,” said BSEE Oil Spill Response Division Chief David Moore when announcing the request for proposals. “Through efforts such as this, we hope to spur further innovation and to improve upon the techniques and technology available to respond to potential oil spills.”
