Houston, TX – 17 May 2025 – Black Elk Energy Offshore Operations, LLC (“Black Elk Energy”), an independent oil and gas company headquartered in Houston, announced today their upcoming conference on Operational Safety and Environmental Performance on the Gulf of Mexico (“GOM”) Outer Continental Shelf (“OCS”) to be held on June 12th in Lafayette, Louisiana.

Hosted by Black Elk Energy, the purpose of the conference is to discuss the formation of an Industry Executive Council with a focus on improving safety and environmental performance in GOM shallow water OCS operations. The conference agenda includes:

1. Lessons learned from the incident at the Black Elk Energy West Delta 32 platform
2. Summary of select findings from Black Elk Energy’s I3P SEMS Audit
3. Breakout sessions to identify how GOM Shelf Operators and Contractors can work together to identify best practices that are conducive to compliance with SEMS and the Safety Culture Policy Statement

“Safety is a core value of the offshore oil and gas industry, especially in the Gulf of Mexico given the remote locations of platforms”, says John Hoffman, President and Chief Executive Officer of Black Elk Energy. “The recent Safety Culture Policy Statement is the latest in an ongoing effort by BSEE to emphasize that the offshore industry must continue to improve safety. I hope many of our industry peers will join us for this important conference to discuss forming an executive council. Together, we can build an organizational safety culture to achieve an incident-free workplace.”
