You must use Form BSEE–0143, Facility/Equipment Damage Report, to make this and all subsequent reports. In lieu of submitting Form BSEE–0143 by fax or e-mail, you may submit the damage report electronically in accordance with 30 CFR 250.186(a)(3). In the report, you must:
(i) Name the items damaged (e.g., platform or other structure, production equipment, pipeline);
(ii) Describe the damage and assess the extent of the damage (major, medium, minor); and
(iii) Estimate the time it will take to replace or repair each damaged structure and piece of equipment and return it to service. The initial estimate need not be provided on the form until availability of hardware and repair capability has been established (not to exceed 30 days from your initial report).
