Blue topaz was adopted as the state’s gemstone in 1969. Texas topaz is usu - ally colorless to white, though some of the most beautiful and startling gemstones are in the light-blue to sky-blue range. In color, size and clarity, Texas topaz is considered among the best in the United States. Naturally occurring blue topaz is actually quite rare and can be found only in the Texas Hill Country in Mason. It was first recognized in Mason County in 1904. Old-timers remember stumbling onto the quartz-like gemstones while searching creek beds for arrowheads. Some - times the stones were so big they could be used as doorstops.

As the quarter progressed, we made significant strides towards vaccinating the most vulnerable. While we are moving closer to a return to normalcy as the availability of vaccines continues to grow, new COVID-19 variants threaten to slow progress. The economy continued to show signs of recovering as employers added more jobs in the first quarter and the unemployment rate declined to 6.0%.

  • Failure to Disclose but No Bias: the UKSC's Decision in Halliburton
    Debevoise In Depth Failure to Disclose but No Bias: The UKSC’s Decision in Halliburton Company (Appellant) v. Chubb Bermuda Insurance Ltd (Respondent) 14 December 2020 The UK Supreme Court unanimously upheld the Court of Appeal’s decision that arbitrators appointed in arbitrations seated in England have a legal duty to disclose subsequent appointments in other arbitrations where there is an overlap in parties and subject matter. The Supreme Court held that, in the present case, while the chair of the tribunal had breached this duty to disclose, the facts and circumstances did not call into question his impartiality. Halliburton’s appeal and its request that the chair be removed were dismissed. Background The dispute originates in the explosion on the Deepwater Horizon oil and gas rig in the Gulf of Mexico on 20 April 2010. Halliburton provided cementing and well-monitoring services on the rig, which was leased by BP and operated by Transocean. The U.S. government pursued each corporation for the devastating environmental damage caused by the incident. Halliburton settled with the government for US$1.1 billion, and subsequently sought to recover that sum from its insurer, Chubb. Chubb refused to pay out under the insurance policy—a Bermuda Form policy—on the basis that the settlement amount was unreasonable. The insurance policy was governed by New York law and provided that disputes were to be resolved by arbitration seated in London. Each party was allowed to appoint an arbitrator, with the chair of the tribunal to be agreed by the parties. The parties could not agree on a chair, so the High Court appointed Kenneth Rokison QC (referred to as “M” in the decisions of the High Court and Court of Appeal), whom Chubb had proposed.

    ENERGYPOINT Customer Satisfaction Update V. 1.1 RESEARCH Halliburton January 17, 2013 SATISFACTION Resilient Through the Ups and Downs RATINGS When EnergyPoint published its first-ever report in 2004, Halliburton was in the midst of a high-profile juggling act of sorts. The company was not only grappling with asbestos-related legal issues inherited as part of its ill- fated Dresser Industries acquisition, its now-jettisoned KBR subsidiary was taking flak, both in the media and in ATTRIBUTES Washington D.C., over a series of inutile contracts with the U.S. military. At the time, we weren't sure if these dual distractions were contributing to the company's then-lackluster oilfield customer satisfaction scores. In Rating Trend retrospect, it appears they were. Halliburton's ratings improved appreciably once the issues were resolved and management was able to more fully concentrate on its mainstay energy-services business. And concentrate it did. The company smartly swore off major acquisitions, choosing to focus on organic growth opportunities TOTAL SATISFACTION AVG STABLE within its existing portfolio. As shale development began to take off domestically, its hydraulic fracturing expertise became increasingly coveted by upstream clients.

We are forging ahead on many fronts, including the completion of this special issue of spirit Magazine featuring the annual SPIRIT of Performance Awards. One of the most important responsibilities of my job is meeting with ConocoPhillips employees and listening to their ideas and concerns. During the past quarter, I visited China, Malaysia and Indonesia and saw the amazing work our people are doing on projects such as additional development phases at the Peng Lai field in Bohai Bay; production rampup and an active exploration program in Malaysia; and an initiative to sell more gas in Indonesia. During a visit to Alaska, I heard excitement around our Willow discovery in the National Petroleum Reserve and the active upcoming winter drilling campaign. In July, the company’s board of directors joined me on a visit to our Bakken operations in North Dakota, where the team patiently answered all our questions and showed why ConocoPhillips is recognized as an operator of choice in that important region.
