Abstract
This chapter is derived from a research project addressing the robustness of offshore risk regulation for oil and gas operations on the Norwegian Continental Shelf (NCS). The project has involved evaluating and comparing three regulatory regimes and assessing their influence on the safety performance of offshore operators. The focus of this chapter is a comparative study of the Norwegian regulatory approach with the US and UK regimes, their modes of regulation and enforcement, and changes over time in response to major accidents.
