Key Simulation Parameters and Assumptions

Rounds absent for training: 2 (including the round sent for training)
Rounds absent for injuries: 2 (after the round injured)
Rounds shut-in due to blowout: 3 (including the round of the blow out)
Rounds shut-in for quick overhaul: 1
Rounds shut-in for complete overhaul: 2
Beginning of Round Events:
Worker hires, fires, returns from injuries and training and new training requests.
Acquisition of new capital equipment such as pollution control equipment and BOP overhauls
Middle of Round Events:
Blowouts (i.e., rig only produces half of the oil it would otherwise have produced)
End of Round Events:
Worker injuries and fatalities.
