We believe that all of the damages related to this tragic accident have been paid.

It was a tragic accident that Exxon Mobil deeply regrets.

Its unfortunate that we are dealing with this criticism of our industry. We are doing our part to invest in new oil and gas projects to provide supplies to our customers.

Over 70 percent of our earnings come from outside the US ; we operate in over 200 countries.

We take these issues very seriously. We realized that we needed to do a better job of explaining how the industry works.

We are sensitive to the prices that the general public consumers have to pay at the pump. What we're doing is focusing on what we can do to try and get more supply on the market.

We have compensated in actual damages. This is about punitive damages. We don't believe punitive damages are warranted.
