The U.S. Department of Energy Office of Enterprise Assessments (EA) conducted an independent assessment of work planning and control (WP&C) at the Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR) Bayou Choctaw (BC) site from July to September 2025. This assessment evaluated Fluor Federal Petroleum Operations, LLC (FFPO) WP&C institutional safety and health (S&H) programs and their implementation within the framework of the five core functions of integrated safety management. The assessment also evaluated the flowdown of S&H requirements to subcontractors performing work at the BC site, and FFPO's process safety management (PSM) mechanical integrity program.
