Health, Safety, Environment, and Regulatory Policy

At Bayswater, we aim to lead by example in our industry and conduct business safely, ethically, and responsibly. We are confident and proud in our operations, our employees, and our product. On a daily basis, Bayswater aspires to demonstrate that oil and natural gas development can exist in partnership with environmental stewardship.

Affordable, reliable energy is vital for our country and we are proud to provide this important service and resource. In the oil and natural gas industry, we require a “social license to operate.” We understand that this is gained by earning the trust of the communities where we operate. That trust is fragile, and is built and maintained by our daily efforts, words, and actions.

We will:

• Conduct our business without accident, harm to the community, or damage to the environment.
• Meet or exceed all ambient regulatory requirements in our areas of operations and comply with all laws.
• Implement and continuously improve our Health, Safety & Environment Management system.
