Helix ESG CEO to Outline Offshore Containment Readiness at Congressional Hearing

Owen Kratz, President and Chief Executive Officer of Helix Energy Solutions Group, Inc. HLX, will testify before the House Committee on Science, Space, and Technology on Wednesday, April 6th to describe the industry's current and future offshore drilling safety and emergency response technologies. Helix ESG has agreements to be named as a response resource with an industry cooperative known as the Helix Well Containment Group, a not-for-profit organization incorporating 24 oil and gas exploration and production companies in the Gulf of Mexico. Recently, the U.S. Department of the Interior has approved deepwater drilling permits for five HWCG members. The HWCG system incorporates lessons learned during the Macondo Incident Control and Spill Containment effort, in which Helix vessels and subsea systems played instrumental roles.
