Chevron Sri Lanka parent gets prestigious award

Chevron Corporation, for the first time in its history, has been awarded the U.S. 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 company said.

The SAFE award recognizes 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 recognized 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 statement said. The ceremony, held in Houston last week, was attended by more than 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.
