We have developed strong organizational leadership and a culture that promotes continuous improvement and cultivate employee engagement at all levels.

Corporate Citizenship

We're passionate about strengthening local economies & enriching the lives of our employees and the communities in which we live and work. We have committed to charitable activities that consider employee values in tandem with corporate values and impact, and deliver on that commitment with both monetary and volunteer opportunities.

Culture

Committed to a proactive culture of safety. We create and continuously strengthen our culture where risks are eliminated, unsafe work is not tolerated, and people will challenge the norm.

Focused Action

Focus on what is known to have the potential to cause serious injury. We provide our team with programs and tools that are proven to keep people safe. We do not assume reductions in frequency of lessor incidents indicate risk has been lowered for a major incident.

Cybersecurity

Safety isn't just about the physical. As we strive to be a more data driven company, we also must focus our attention on the safety and security of our data, equipment and overall network.

We have comprehensive security layers that work to prevent attacks, provide attack awareness, and respond/recover quickly to incidents.

We're proud to say we've had no cybersecurity breach or system compromise since inception.

Safety

Safety is not the absence of incidents, it is the presence of culture, tools, and knowledge.

At Ensign we don't believe that it's only one person or department that should be responsible for safety. Safety is every single persons job.

HSE Requirements

Emissions Reduction

We're setting a goal to be in the top quartile for lowest emission intensity among our peers in the Eagle Ford!

We've installed equipment that reduces emissions over time and are planning further implementations in 2022.

We will capture 65% of our produced water in 2022, limiting environmental impacts of disposal and reducing emissions by eliminating water hauling activities. Ensign began recycling water for use in completions activities in 2021.

Community

Keeping South Texas roads clean.

At Ensign we believe in taking care of the communities that we're a part of. South Texas is a place of unique beauty and to ensure our environment continues to stay clean and beautiful, we've partnered with other operators in our region to support the Keep South Texas Roads Clean program.

This program picks up roadside trash and recycles collected tires for local parks to keep our area looking it's best for all to enjoy.

This unique program is considered a model for companies working in local communities and is made possible by the amazing collaboration with our competitors in the region.

Removed 520k pounds of trash since inception at an average of ~1,400 pounds per week
