HWCG is made up of a diverse and experienced group of deepwater operators and non-operators, representing two-thirds of the deepwater operators in the Gulf of Mexico.

Each HWCG member is committed to safe and responsible offshore drilling and prevention of a deepwater incident.

As a member of HWCG, each company provides expertise and resources that collectively help achieve HWCG’s ultimate goal of rapid intervention, response and containment.

The Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement (“BSEE”) requires that each producer or operator in the US Gulf of Mexico develop and maintain a well containment response plan that include among other things access to specific Source Control Containment Equipment (“SCCE”) that when combined will collectively provide a temporary production system that will enable the flow and capture hydrocarbons.  An integral part of the flow back system includes Burner Fire Control heat attenuation equipment to protect personnel and the facility from the heat generated by flaring operations during flow and capture operations.
