ExxonMobil is committed to maintaining high safety, health and environmental standards in our operations. On November 9, 2012, oil was released from a pipeline operated by Mobil Producing Nigeria…offshore Akwa Ibom State. Emergency response personnel were immediately mobilized and the pipeline was shut down. Dispersants and boom were deployed as approved by regulatory authorities and more than 500 local personnel were contracted to undertake cleanup work along the coastline…Cleanup activities were coordinated with the Department of Petroleum Resources, National Oil Spill Detection and Response Agency, Akwa Ibom State Ministry of Environment and local leaders of the affected Akwa Ibom communities. Mobil Producing Nigeria regrets this incident and apologizes for any inconvenience that it caused…With respect to oil that washed-up on the beach in August 2012, there is no evidence to suggest that the source…is from Mobil Producing Nigeria operations or facilities. As the nearest operator to the impacted area, Mobil Producing Nigeria cleaned up the shoreline as required by law while the source of the spill was investigated.
