Justice Department rests in second phase of BP oil spill trial - 1 views

  •  
    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

BP Holdings article code 85258080768: Feeding Frenzy/Redgage - 1 views

    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
