Description: Since 1995, POGO has issued five reports about the federal government’s inadequate oversight of the major oil and gas companies, primarily with a focus on the Minerals Management Service (MMS) and the loss of royalty revenue. Most recently, we issued a report tracing the troubled history of the Department of the Interior’s Royalty-In-Kind (RIK) program and recommending the abolition of the program. Investigations conducted by POGO, the Inspector General (IG), the press, and this and other congressional committees have long found that MMS is broken. The Deepwater Horizon disaster is a direct result of MMS’s failure to do its job. It is important that Interior and Congress do what they can to learn from this catastrophe and make sure it never happens again.
