ExxonMobil Offers Real-life Training to Keep Our Communities Safe
Key takeaways:
- We sponsor hands-on emergency pipeline safety training for local first responders.
- We’ve adapted the program to include training for carbon dioxide (CO2) pipeline emergencies.
- We offer the training to first responders across our pipeline and operations footprint – helping to keep communities safe.
“Nobody gets hurt” isn’t just a slogan at ExxonMobil. It’s real life.
And just as we’re evolving to be a leader in the energy transition, our safety training is evolving, too.
Case in point — we’ve long sponsored a unique, hands-on pipeline safety course for first responders. Now, the course includes training for carbon dioxide (CO2) pipeline emergencies.
“This CO2 pipeline training is a first in the industry,” said Nicolas Medina, who works on stakeholder engagement with ExxonMobil Pipeline Company. “It gives local firefighters an experience they can’t get anywhere else.”
We own and operate more than 1,500 miles of CO2 pipeline, the bulk coming from our acquisition of Denbury in November of 2023. The deal significantly expanded our carbon capture and storage network – giving us more opportunities to reduce carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions for key U.S. industries.
We offer the pipeline emergency response training to first responders in the communities where we operate. And participation is free – we pay tuition, room and board.”
Donating Safety Equipment in Communities Across the Nation
In addition to ongoing trainings, ExxonMobil is also donating safety equipment to first responders in communities across our footprint. Recently, members of the ExxonMobil team presented representatives from Jefferson County Emergency Services Districts #3 and #4 with essential equipment necessary to respond safely and effectively should an incident occur in their area.
