PR Newswire: news distribution, targeting and monitoring

HOUSTON, May 27 /PRNewswire/ — The Deepwater Horizon accident in the Gulf of Mexico is a terrible tragedy for the families of those who lost their lives or were injured, as well as our neighbors in the Gulf region.

Immediately following the on-set of this incident, we undertook a number of proactive steps to reinforce our top priority, safety, by conducting a comprehensive review of our operating practices, testing frequencies and training protocols. We have an unwavering commitment to safe operating practices and will actively seek to understand the causes of the Deepwater Horizon incident.

We respect and understand today’s decision in the context of the tragic spill in the Gulf of Mexico, but we remain confident in our drilling expertise, which is built upon a foundation of redundant safety systems and company global standards. In Alaska, our drilling plans have undergone an unprecedented level of review, including scrutiny from the courts, regulators and stakeholders. We welcome this scrutiny and will work closely with the government and other experts during this suspension in drilling activities.
