Wins MMS SAFE Award
Posted: 30 April 2003
HOUSTON — The U.S. Department of the Interior's
Minerals Management Service (MMS) has selected Exxon Mobil Corporation
to receive its 2002 National Safety Award for Excellence (SAFE).
Two ExxonMobil employees have also been selected as winners of
MMS' 2002 Corporate Leadership Awards.
ExxonMobil received the National SAFE award in the high-activity
category for the Outer Continental Shelf in recognition of the company's
safety record and operational performance at its offshore facilities
in the Gulf of Mexico and off the coast of California.
The award, established in 1983, honors companies that achieve outstanding
safety and environmental results, and that demonstrate notable efforts
to train and motivate their employees to conduct offshore operations
in a highly responsible manner.
The SAFE program also highlights to the public that companies conduct
offshore oil and gas activities safely and in a pollution-free manner.
"This award recognises a corporate commitment to offshore safety
and environmental protection," said MMS Director Johnnie Burton.
"We are pleased to recognise this year's SAFE award finalists
for their exemplary company performance."
"In 2002, our employees and contractors achieved truly outstanding
results in offshore safety and environmental performance,"
said Tom Walters, vice president for North America Production for
ExxonMobil.
"This award recognises their accomplishments and commitment
to our company's values of safe and environmentally sound operations.
It also demonstrates movement toward our vision of an incident-free
workplace."
ExxonMobil employees Steve Brooks and Donna Hurley were selected
as winners of 2002 Corporate Leadership Awards.
Mr. Brooks was selected for his outstanding initiative in organising,
planning, and conducting an industry-sponsored survey to assist
the MMS in improving the consistency of inspections.
Ms. Hurley was selected for outstanding leadership in improving
processes related to regulatory approvals and for applying computer
and other technologies for greater business efficiencies.
The MMS is the federal agency within the Department of the Interior
that manages the nation's natural gas, oil and other mineral resources
on the Outer Continental Shelf.
The agency also collects, accounts for, and disburses revenues
from federal offshore mineral leases and from onshore mineral leases
on federal and Indian lands.
These revenues totaled more than $6 billion in 2002 and nearly
$127 billion since the agency's inception in 1982. (BUSINESS WIRE)
