ExxonMobil said Nov. 16 that it has received the 2009 Continuing Excellence award from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, under its Natural Gas STAR Program. The program recognizes companies that apply cost-effective technologies and management practices to improve operational efficiency and reduce methane emissions. The Continuing Excellence Award is presented to companies that annually self report to the EPA; continually demonstrate a high level of performance in reducing emissions; implement a variety of technologies and practices; and support the program’s activities, initiatives and outreach. ExxonMobil is one of the largest oil and gas producers and reserves holders in the U.S., with a diverse resource and asset portfolio.
