Oversight is a nice word, but rarely beneficial when formalized as an ongoing process. To see this, do you believe that the loss of an entire platform, death of 11 workers, and possible loss of all mineral rights in US territory wasn't enough to motivate the company to follow the engineering recommendations of their best and brightest?
Along those same lines, anyone who would have had the insight to avoid this kind of terrible accident would be highly valuable in the industry, and easily lured away from a mid-level bureaucratic position. An oversight commission will be left with only busy-bodies and those with out of date knowledge and skills.
