Episode 54 of "In The Oil Patch"
This week on "In The Oil Patch": host Kym Bolado and her cohost Alvin Bailey have yet another special show in the books this week. Tommy Clark and Ed Mongan of BHP Billiton join Kym and Alvin on this week's show to tackle some very interesting topics, namely transparency and disclosure. The primary focus of this episode is the scorecard that the Investor Environmental Health Network (IEHN) has been releasing since 2013, detailing companies' use of best practices when disclosing information that goes into hydraulic fracturing operations. On that inaugural report, BHP Billiton was close to the bottom of the list. Ed, Tommy and the team at BHP Billiton were determined to top that list, which astoundingly they accomplished in 2014 (the very next year). Not being satisfied with their overall score, the team has been working day in and day out to get their score as high as possible so there will be no question about their ethics and quality standards when it comes to this controversial topic. Tune in and stream this episode to get all the details which led BHP Billiton to receive the title of "Disclosure Leader" by the IEHN.
