Today marks 23 years since a terrorist group sought to undermine our nation’s confidence and security. They carried out tragic and horrible attacks on our country that resulted in the loss of thousands of lives. While their motive was to strike fear, it instead galvanized our nation. It created a renewed sense of strength, determination and patriotism, the likes of which had not been felt since World War II. As a nation, we faced this tragedy, and together we vowed to #neverforget

We’re excited to share that necessary repairs are complete in preparation for the Matagorda Island orphan decommissioning project occurring in the Gulf of Mexico region. Workers can now safely access the facilities for the crucial well plugging work that is currently in progress. Navigational lights in the area were also replaced, enhancing safety for mariners and reducing risks offshore. Work in the Matagorda Island area further demonstrates BSEE's continued commitment to enhancing safety and promoting environmental sustainability offshore. Partial funding for the project was provided by the Biden-Harris Administration’s Bipartisan Infrastructure Law. https://ow.ly/wbjJ50Thmj8

BSEE’s National Oil Spill Response Research & Renewable Energy Test Facility, known as Ohmsett, provides independent and objective performance testing of full-scale oil spill response equipment and marine renewable energy systems and helps improve technologies through collaborative research and development. Ohmsett's above-ground concrete test tank is one of the largest in North America, measuring 203 meters long by 20 meters wide by 2.4 meters deep and filled with 10 million liters of saltwater. Government agencies, academia, public and private companies use Ohmsett as a research center to test oil spill containment/clean-up equipment and techniques, to test new designs in response equipment, to conduct training with actual oil spill response technologies, and to explore the capabilities of wave energy devices in a near real-world open ocean environment, ensuring comprehensive stewardship.
