ExxonMobil receives MMS safety award

(4/28/2004 - OGI: Houston) The US Interior Department's Minerals Management Service (MMS) has selected ExxonMobil to receive its 2003 Safe Operations and Accurate Reporting (SOAR) Award.
The MMS presented the SOAR Award to ExxonMobil for the company's offshore operating performance and its fiscal responsibility. The agency recognized ExxonMobil as one of the best performing "citizens" operating on the Outer Continental Shelf in terms of safety as well as fiscal management and reporting procedures.
"We are honored to be recognized by the MMS as a leader in safety and operational performance," said Tom Walters, vice president of US Production for ExxonMobil. "In 2003, our employees and contractors achieved truly outstanding results, and the SOAR Award acknowledges their accomplishments and our company's commitment to safe and environmentally sound operations."

As further recognition, ExxonMobil also received the Revenues Stewardship Award for exceptional performance in reporting oil and gas production, and paying royalties for mineral leases on federal and Indian lands. The award, established in 1987, honors ExxonMobil for the overall accuracy and timeliness of its payments and reports as well as for its cooperation and responsiveness to compliance and enforcement requests. More than 1,600 companies submit reports of minerals production and sales from federal and Indian leases.
This marks the third successive year ExxonMobil has won major recognition from the MMS. The company won SAFE awards for excellence in 2001 and 2002 as well as the agency's Corporate Citizen Award for 2001. The awards recognized ExxonMobil's safety record and operational performance at its US offshore drilling and production facilities, and its production and royalty reporting activities.
