Anadarko Petroleum Corporation (NYSE: APC) today announced that it has
been awarded the Processing Partner of the Year by the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for its efforts to protect the
environment and reduce emissions through the voluntary Natural Gas STAR
program. In addition, the company will be recognized with the Seven-Year
Continuing Excellence Award.
"This is excellent recognition for our employees and a clear
demonstration of our commitment to reducing greenhouse gas emissions and
protecting the environment across all our operations," said David
McBride, Vice President of Environment, Health and Safety, Anadarko E&P
USA, Inc. "We have participated in the Natural Gas STAR program for more
than a decade and, during that time, the cumulative reductions we've
achieved in greenhouse gas emissions are equivalent to the annual
emissions of nearly 3.4 million cars. We're proud of our environmental
record, our commitment to continuously strive for further enhancements
and our long-standing partnership with the Natural Gas STAR program."
The Natural Gas STAR Processing Partner of the Year Award is presented
in recognition of a company's normalized emission reductions for the
prior reporting year. In Anadarko's case, these emissions reductions
were achieved through the implementation of a variety of Natural Gas
STAR technologies including the installation of flash tank separators on
glycol dehydrators, the redesign of several emergency procedures and the
installation of electric compressor engines.
Anadarko Petroleum Corporation's mission is to deliver a competitive and
sustainable rate of return to shareholders by exploring for, acquiring
and developing oil and natural gas resources vital to the world's health
and welfare. As of year-end 2008, the company had approximately 2.3
billion barrels-equivalent of proved reserves, making it one of the
world's largest independent exploration and production companies. For
