Analysis of:Oil industry 'should pay $200m per year' | www.upstreamonline.com

Who will have responsibility if despite the heightened proposed oversight there is a spill in the Gulf? Will the Govt. shoulder the burden since they approved, and signed off on it? Given the magnitude of oil spill impact on BP, who would run unnecessary risks?

No Surprise Here

July 9, 2010

Analysis of:BP Invoices Anadarko and Mitsui for Gulf Cleanup | www.petroleumafrica.com

This action by BP should not come as much of a surprise to anyone. It is reasonable to assume that while BP carries the front page burden of this spill, actions of this nature should be expected. They are reasonable and within the legal and financial boundaries of corporate contracts.Once the spill is contained, it is also reasonable to find that years of legal actions between all parties involved in the rig and this particular well will be taken and pursued.
