2010 Offshore Industry Safety Awards Postponed

WASHINGTON D.C. — The Department of the Interior’s Minerals Management Service (MMS) announced today that the 2010 Annual Industry SAFE Awards Luncheon scheduled for May 3, 2010 at the Offshore Technology Conference (OTC) in Houston, Texas has been postponed. 

The ongoing situation with the Transocean Deepwater Horizon drilling accident has caused the MMS to dedicate considerable resources to the successful resolution of this event, which will conflict with holding this ceremony next week.  

The MMS will announce how the agency will proceed with the 2010 SAFE Award program during the next several weeks.  The MMS apologizes for any inconvenience and thanks the organizers of the OTC for their understanding of our current situation.
