description: The Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement (BSEE) is the U.S. Department of the Interior bureau that
  promotes safety, protects the environment and conserves resources offshore through regulatory oversight and enforcement
  of oil, gas and mineral operations on the Outer Continental Shelf. BSEE publishes the authoritative public record of offshore
  wells, leases, pipelines, platforms, production, exploration and development plans and incidents of non-compliance through
  the BSEE Data Center, as HTML online-query applications and zipped delimited-ASCII bulk downloads, and operates the eWell/TIMS
  permitting system that offshore operators use to file permits and activity reports. BSEE publishes no OpenAPI, GraphQL,
  AsyncAPI, SOAP or MCP contract; note that "API" in BSEE's own vocabulary means the American Petroleum Institute well number,
  not an application programming interface.

  detail: BSEE's offshore data is fully public and free, but it is only reachable through ASP.NET online-query forms and zipped
    delimited-ASCII downloads on www.data.bsee.gov — no OpenAPI, GraphQL, AsyncAPI, WSDL or MCP contract exists on any bsee.gov
    host, and the host answers HTTP 200 with a "Data Center 404 Error" HTML shell for every path that does not exist, so even
    path discovery returns false positives.
