I think insurance solves this problem but the details would be important. If you speed a lot and drive drunk, your premium will and should increase to cover the increased risk you pose to others. A catastrophe shouldn’t be the first time a drilling operation’s premium is assessed. There would be audits by experts in the industry and noncompliance should increase premium along with risk. I’m skeptical as hell about the behavior of other humans, but in theory it could help.
