This is GulfSafe:
An offshore damage prevention and notification system.
- 25% of domestic oil production and 16% of total US gas production occur in the Gulf of Mexico.
- Over 35,000 miles of pipelines crisscross the bottom of the Gulf connecting over 4,000 platforms to the coast.
- Thousands of miles of telecommunications cables exist there today.
- Soon, wind generation of electricity will begin in the Gulf.
Our nation’s critical infrastructure is expanding offshore: a new way to protect it is needed.
GulfSafe was formed to meet the challenges of working in this complex and dangerous environment.
In 2007, 811 launched an elevated awareness of land-based notification systems. Onshore 811.
