Our Environmental Principles
Spills Prevention and Response Website
Every day, a network of tanker ships, pipelines and trucks safely delivers millions of gallons of oil and natural gas to fuel the American economy. Spills Prevention and Response is an interactive website that explores how new technologies and better training yield continual improvements as we strive to conserve valuable energy resources and protect our nation's health and environment through spill prevention. And, when spills occur, the United States employs world-leading preparedness planning and response capabilities to minimize harm to the environment.
Environmental Expenditures by the Oil and Natural Gas Industry
The U.S. oil and natural gas industry has invested more than $160 billion since 1990 toward improving the environmental performance of its products, facilities and operations – $539 for every man, woman and child in the United States. In the year 2006 alone, $11.3 billion was spent implementing new technologies, creating cleaner fuels and funding ongoing environmental initiatives. An additional $1.6 billion went toward research and development, corporate environmental programs and spill remediation efforts.
