Safety
Tuesday’s hearing
Yesterday, the House Subcommittee on Energy and Environment held a five-hour hearing on the Deepwater Horizon incident. Our chairman and CEO, Rex Tillerson, appeared with other industry executives. While the hearing was contentious at times, it provided an opportunity for the executives and members of Congress to address many of the issues on everyone’s minds – safety standards, energy security needs, spill response capabilities and more.
Addressing the Gulf of Mexico spill
What happened at the Deepwater Horizon rig is a tragedy on many levels – from the terrible loss of life involved, to the ongoing impact of the spill on the environment, communities and businesses of the Gulf Coast. Everyone at ExxonMobil shares in the concern over the accident and spill, and we have contributed personnel and equipment to help with the response.
