Following the disastrous accident of 20 April 2010 in the Gulf of Mexico, where an explosion on drilling rig Deepwater strata, exploring oil and gas at the Macondo well about 60 kilometer offshore the US coast, caused the death of 11 workers and severe injuries to many others including massive sea pollution from the release of 5 million barrels of crude oil. As it has been dramatically demonstrated not only in the Macondo well accident but in a variety of cases, offshore oil rig activities entail the hazard of a major accident with potentially severe consequences to the life and health of workers, pollution of the ecosystem, direct and indirect economic losses, and deterioration of the security of energy supply. While consequences of potential accidents to life and health of the workers, environment and especially of the neighbouring coastal areas, and direct economic damage are direct effects and can easily be assessed, indirect economic loss and outcomes of the accident to security of energy supply are more difficult to be assessed accurately. After a first brief reference to the obstacles related to the exploration and production activities in oil and gas rigs, the analysis goes to the existing sources of information and their availability to the public. The primary objective of the study is to analyse the safety aspects of the offshore operations in oil and gas industry with an assessment of the resources available for accident analysis and information based communication for offshore.
