Petroleum News Alaska Staff

Nick Glover, crisis management coordinator for BP Exploration (Alaska) Inc., received the U.S. Minerals Management Service Corporate Leadership Award for 2001 at an April 11 ceremony in Houston, Texas.

MMS recognized Glover for his contributions in response planning and coordination with regulatory authorities, oil spill response research, and risk assessment which have enhanced Arctic oil spill response preparedness. The agency said Glover is a key player in developing response strategies and tactics that represent the most realistic scenarios for responding to an oil spill in the Beaufort Sea, including broken ice conditions.

“Mr. Glover continues to be a positive force in expanding the knowledge and capabilities of response to oil spills in arctic waters,” said MMS Alaska Regional Director John Goll. “He willingly shares his extensive knowledge and experience in Arctic spill response with federal, state and other industry personnel to develop an effective array of response options to protect the Alaska environment,” he added.

The Corporate Leadership Award is given to individuals who have worked closely with MMS to improve revenue collection and processes for offshore development.
