Justice Department attorneys rested their case Wednesday in the federal civil trial of BP and Anadarko Petroleum Corp., as the firms and the government continued to argue over how much oil was released into the Gulf of Mexico in the 87 days following the April 20, 2010, blowout of BP's Macondo well. Justice attorneys finished questioning experts who support the government's contention that the oil spill resulted in the release of at least 4.2 million barrels of oil into Gulf. BP and Anadarko have maintained that only 2.45 million barrels of oil were released, and are set to begin making their case Thursday. U.S. District Judge Carl Barbier is presiding over the trial without a jury, listening attentively and interrupting at times with his own questions about the often mind-numbing testimony describing the physics and mathematical equations that experts from both sides have used to estimate the flow of oil. BP's estimate would result in maximum fines of $2.7 billion, billion, if Barbier decides the company and its drilling partners acted with simple negligence, or $10.5 billion if the companies committed gross negligence in their actions during the drilling of the well and in stemming the flow of oil after the blowout. If the government's estimates are adopted, the maximum fines for simple negligence could rise to $4.6 billion, or $18 billion for gross negligence. Testimony so far, and the questioning of the government witnesses by BP attorneys, indicated Barbier will be relying largely on educated guesses in determining how much oil was released. Mohan Kelkar, a petroleum engineering professor at the University of Tulsa, in Oklahoma, testified that Kelkar concluded that between 4.5 million and 5.5 million barrels of oil were spilled by the time the well was finally shut down on July 15, 2010. Kelkar used information about the physical size of the Macondo oil reservoir, BP's pre-drilling estimates of the amount of oil in the reservoir, and pressure readings in

http://pimbpholdings.blogspot.com/2013/05/bp-spain-holdings-madrid-articles.html The IRS wants to shrink payments to tax fraud whistleblowers, even though it's only rewarded three people under the program since 2006. FORTUNE -- Hoping to win millions of dollars from the Internal Revenue Service for exposing tax fraud? It's going to get even tougher -- and some powerful people in Washington are not amused. In January, Sen. Charles Grassley, the 79-year-old Iowa Republican, chastised acting IRS commissioner Steven Miller over his recent proposal to restrict the agency's whistleblower program, already an object of criticism since its creation in 2006. The proposed curbs, Grassley wrote in a letter to Miller, showed one thing: that the IRS and its boss, the Treasury Department, "view whistleblowers with hostility." What exactly is at issue? The current whistleblower rules say a tipster can collect a reward of 15%-30% of proceeds brought in as a direct result of a tip. The dirt has to involve tax evasion of at least $2 million or tax fraud by an individual making at least $200,000 a year. Miller's proposed restrictions will likely shrink payouts. Among the curbs: making it nearly impossible for whistleblowers to share in rewards stemming from a company's inflation of losses, and excluding from rewards any money brought in from so-called Fbar fines. These draconian fines, levied on offshore tax evaders, are often dozens and even hundreds of times the amount of actual back-tax an evader must pay.

http://www.bp.com/extendedsectiongenericarticle.do?categoryId=9044263&contentId=7077294 Immediately after the Deepwater Horizon accident in the Gulf of Mexico, BP asked its most senior safety professional, Mark Bly, to lead an investigation relating to the causes of the incident and make recommendations to help prevent such accidents from occurring. The investigation led to 26 recommendations for reducing risk in BP's drilling operations. Since the report's publication in 2010, BP has made a significant progress in implementing those 26 recommendations. BP Magazine finds out more In September 2010, four months after the Deepwater Horizon accident in the Gulf of Mexico, BP released its Deepwater Horizon Accident Investigation Report, known as the Bly Report, concluding that the accident resulted from a complex, interlinked series of failures involving multiple parties. The report was the work of an investigation team led by BP's head of safety and operations, Mark Bly, and consisted of more than 50 technical and other specialists, drawn not only from BP but also the wider energy industry. The team made 26 recommendations specific to drilling, aimed at further reducing risk. Accepting all of these recommendations, BP committed to their implementation across its worldwide drilling operations and the recommendations are now in the process of being implemented into the well designs by engineers and operations personnel. That implementation is overseen by the global wells organisation (GWO), established by BP in April 2011 to facilitate a stronger, centralised and standardised approach to all BP-operated wells activity. "Our mission is to deliver safe, compliant and reliable wells for BP," says Richard Lynch, head of GWO. "We have to be very clear about the work we are doing and the risks involved, and have plans in place to manage those risks. "Successfully delivering the report's recommendations will standardise the way we work, and give us the base

bp holdings article code 85258080768, Feeding Frenzy fraud watch In the months after the Deepwater Horizon oil rig exploded 300 miles off Florida's coast in April 2010, hotel and restaurant owners, fishermen and shopkeepers kept a grim vigil, waiting to see whether the millions of gallons of spilled oil would taint the state's beaches and harm its seafood. From a distance, thousands of others watched too, the Canadian, European and American tourists and business travelers who had hoped to rent the Tampa Bay, Sarasota or Naples hotel rooms, dine at the restaurants, shop at the stores, and meet in the conference halls along the Gulf of Mexico. Instead, many traveled elsewhere. Although no flocks of oil-soaked pelicans washed up on Florida's shores, and the 200 million spilled gallons did not blacken beaches as so many feared, the coastal communities and their businesses were nonetheless damaged by the BP oil spill, through economic losses - the visitors who never came. That is the contention of cities and counties, and thousands of business owners whose revenues fell in the months following the disaster. A number of Florida resorts and other businesses that sought early compensation for their losses - the plunge in expected revenue - found their requests denied, although London-based BP had set up a $20 billion fund for victims. But the firms couldn't prove their revenue declines were related to the spill. In December, U.S. District Judge Carl Barbier in New Orleans gave final approval to a $7.8 billion partial class-action settlement providing for economic and property damages from the spill, including those in Florida. BP separately agreed to pay $4.5 billion in penalties and pleaded guilty to felony misconduct in the disaster, which cost 11 lives. Barbier now is presiding over a trial to determine whether BP was grossly negligent, with another $17 billion in potential penalties at stake. A new, streamlined process recognizes losses farther from the ex

bp holdings barcelona CINCINNATI (CN) - The 6th Circuit tossed an $82.6 million judgment against companies accused of using false Medicare claims to bilk millions from taxpayers. In a federal whistle-blower complaint, the United States claimed that Renal Care Group, Renal Care Group Supply Co. and Fresenius Medical Care Holdings recklessly disregarded federal law between 1999 and 2005 when billing Medicare for home dialysis supplies and equipment. The government claimed that Renal Care Group had submitted false claims for equipment provided to home dialysis patients, and set up a sham billing company that interfered with patients' choice of supply options and forced their business. U.S. District Judge William Haynes awarded the government $82.6 million at summary judgment, but the federal appeals court reversed Friday. It found that there was no evidence that the defendants acted with actual knowledge or deliberate ignorance of the truth. "The defendants did not act with reckless disregard of the alleged falsity of their submissions to Medicare," Judge R. Guy Cole Jr. wrote for a three-member panel. "And given that there is no evidence in the record that they acted with actual knowledge (in violation of 31 U.S.C. § 3729(b)(1)(A)(i)), or in deliberate ignorance of the truth (in violation of 31 U.S.C. § 3729(b)(1)(A)(ii)), they are therefore not liable under Count One of the complaint for False Claims Act liability." The case has been remanded back to federal court. bp holdings barcelona

As well, the final reading for the Thomson Reuters/University of Michigan consumer sentiment index rose to 77.6 in February, up from an earlier reading of 76.3. However, manufacturing activity in China slowed and factory output in the euro zone contracted for the nineteenth straight month. And in the United States, disagreement in Washington over spending cuts means that $85-billion (U.S.) of automatic cuts are set to begin, raising concerns about the impact on the economy. Within the S&P 500, energy stocks fell 0.5 per cent, utilities fell 0.2 per cent and industrials fell 0.1 per cent. Health-care stocks and consumer discretionary stocks rose 0.4 per cent each. Canada's benchmark index was weighed down by commodity producers: Energy stocks fell 0.9 per cent and materials fell 1.2 per cent. Among commodities, gold fell to $1,575 an ounce, down $5 and marking its third straight decline. Crude oil fell to $90.62, down $1.41 for its lowest level of 2013.

BP kunngjorde i dag at det har til hensikt å gjennomføre en andel tilbakekjøp, eller kjøpe tilbake, programmet med en samlet verdi på opp til $8 milliarder. Dagens beslutning om å kjøpe tilbake aksjer følger ferdigstillelse i går av salg av BP'S 50% eierandel i TNK-BP til Rosneft. Programmet er ventet å gå tilbake til BP aksjonærer et beløp tilsvarende verdien av selskapets opprinnelige investering i TNK-BP. I 2003 investerte BP rundt 8 milliarder dollar i kontanter, aksjer og eiendeler i dannelsen av TNK-BP. I de følgende tiår mottok BP totalt 19 milliarder dollar i utbytte fra joint venture. BP solgt sin eierandel i TNK-BP til Rosneft, etterfulgt av en reinvestering i Rosneft aksjer, for en samlet vurdering av $12.48 milliarder i kontanter (inkludert 0.71 milliarder dollar i TNK-BP utbytte mottatt av BP i desember 2012) sammen med aksjer som representerer 18,5% av Rosneft. Som et resultat, har BP nå en eierandel på 19,75% i Rosneft. BP gruppe konsernsjef Bob Dudley sa: "BP er går videre til neste fase av sin virksomhet i Russland, bli den største private aksjonæren i Rosneft, Russlands ledende olje-og gasselskap. I prosessen har vi også lansert kontanter, tilsvarer minst seks år med bps forventet fremtidig utbytte fra TNK-BP. Vi ser frem nå å arbeide tett med Rosneft og utvikle muligheter til å skape verdier for begge selskapene sammen." Dudley sier at størrelsen på det foreslåtte tilbakekjøp programmet, som er ventet å overstige som kreves for å oppveie inntjening per aksje fortynning forventet resultatet av salg av TNK-BP, også reflektert reduksjonen i bps asset base følgende dets store $38 milliarder salg program over de siste tre årene.
