  4. They offered to perform a controlled burn of spilled oil
Correct!

After the catastrophic April 2010 oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, ExxonMobil took an "all hands on deck" approach and lent a hand to the massive undertaking of containing the oil and cleaning it up. In addition to providing equipment and personnel to help BP regain control of the situation, ExxonMobil also donated the services of a drilling rig, to be used as a staging area for cleanup workers. Additionally, they offered the use of an underwater vehicle, a support vessel and two supply vessels.
