Ratio Oil Exploration LTD (Ratio) engaged Marine Ventures International, Inc. (MVI) to develop two high-level policy documents that meet the international environmental, health, and safety standards required of oil and gas operators throughout the world.  The documents supported Ratio’s efforts to be formally recognized by the Israeli government as a legitimate offshore oil and gas operator. The policy statements were sufficiently broad to be applicable to all phases of Ratio’s operations (e.g., seismic, exploration, development, and production) and provided the framework for Ratio to develop specific standards and procedures later.
