Safety award for Chevron Lanka

Chevron Corporation has been awarded the US Minerals Management Service's (MMS) national Safety Award for Excellence (SAFE), one of the highest honours in the industry for safe, clean and compliant operations.

The SAFE award recognises companies who display the most exemplary performance throughout the nation, taking into consideration a company's performance in each of their respective Outer Continental Shelf districts where operations are held.

The Gulf of Mexico business unit of Chevron was also recognised as the Lake Charles District award winner and the Houma District award winner for the South Timbalier Production Group. Criteria for the awards include safety and environmental performance and compliance with all regulations.

The ceremony held in Houston last week, was attended by over 40 Chevron employees representing the operations, drilling and construction groups who earned this award.

The award was accepted on Chevron's behalf by Melody Meyer, Vice President for the Gulf of Mexico Business Unit of Chevron Corporation.

"This is the premier recognition in our industry meaning that we are most admired for our safety, environmental, and compliance performance," said Meyer. "This is a tremendous honour that exemplifies our Chevron Way values and recognises the outstanding performance of our employees and business partners who work with us in the Gulf of Mexico."

"Within Global Upstream and Gas, we recognise the Gulf of Mexico business unit as a leader in safe operations; and it's especially rewarding when the industry or an outside organisation recognises Chevron as a company that exemplifies excellence in safety," said Gary Luquette, President, North America Exploration and Production for Chevron.

"I am proud of all the employees and contractors who contributed to this accomplishment and for keeping safety as a core value in everything they do."
