Press Conference, New Orleans, April 23, 2010
Good evening everyone, and thank you all for joining us this evening on such short notice. I speak to you today under very difficult circumstances. By now I’m sure you have seen the announcement issued by the U.S. Coast Guard. Rear Admiral Mary Landry informed us earlier today that the Coast Guard has officially suspended its search and rescue effort for the eleven missing crew members of the Transocean Deepwater Horizon. On behalf of all of us at Transocean, I would like to express my deepest sympathies to the families and friends of those who were lost. These 11 men were fathers, husbands, sons and brothers. And all of them were absolutely first-class professionals and colleagues. The Deepwater Horizon had a tremendous reputation in our company and across the industry, a reputation that was the direct result of the talented individuals who worked on her. I want to say that our thoughts and prayers are with them and their loved ones during this difficult time. I have spoken with a number of the family members today and their courage and dignity was humbling. I would like to take this opportunity to express my extreme gratitude to the dedicated men and women from the U.S. Coast Guard, Transocean, BP and the crews of the Tidewater Damon Bankston. Also the medical professionals in Louisiana and Alabama who received and treated the injured and others who have worked exhaustively since the first alarm was sounded – and right up to just a few hours ago. They have been working tirelessly in very tough conditions. And I would like to acknowledge the tremendous outpouring of support we have received here on the ground in Louisiana and around the world. The outpouring of sympathy and support expressed by elected officials, the local Louisiana community and our colleagues in the industry has been greatly appreciated. Since the incident occurred Tuesday night, our focus has been on supporting the people of Transocean and their families. I want to thank all of our employees for rallying around their colleagues and for their commitment to each other and to our company. And especially to those who were on the rig at the time of the incident, thank you for your hard work and your heroism in responding the way you did that day, and we are gratified that you are safe and are now reunited with your families. As we move forward in this difficult time, we continue to work with the Coast Guard and the Minerals Management Service, and other members of the response team to gather information on the causes of this tragic incident. We are committed to providing additional information and details as they become available. I will take a few questions this evening, but at this point there remains a lot that we don’t know. The last thing we want to do is speculate or get ahead of our fact finding efforts. Thank you for your attention and support.
