What do green groups think of the progress since in restoring the region? --Mary Johannson, New York, N.Y. When an undersea oil well blew out 50 miles off the Louisiana coast on April 20, 2010, and caused an explosion on the Deep water Horizon drilling rig above it (killing 11 workers), no one knew that an even bigger disaster was yet to come. Over the next three months, 4.9 million gallons of crude poured into the water before BP could get the wellhead capped to stop the flow of oil into the Gulf of Mexico. According to BP, which has already spent $14 billion on clean-up and restoration, the Gulf is returning to baseline conditions prior to the disaster. "No company has done more, faster to respond to an industrial accident than BP did in response to the Deepwater Horizon accident in 2010," the company reported. But not everybody sees the situation that way. Many environmentalists are concerned that, while BP has done a thorough job removing visible oil from the water column and surface, little has been done to repair damage to marine life and ecosystems.

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 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

Over the past two years, he's become recognized as an important "face of BP" in the Gulf. Now that face will become familiar to people throughout the US thanks to a new national TV ad that will begin airing on Monday, April 30 Since the earliest days of the Gulf response two years ago, Mike Utsler has been a reassuring and critical leader for BP - first as incident commander for BP's spill-response efforts, then as lead BP representative in the Unified Area Command, and finally as president of the Gulf Coast Restoration Organization. Those roles have made Utsler well-known across the Gulf, and by virtue of his regular visits with people in the Gulf and beyond - presenting updates on BP's progress in restoration efforts and lending a friendly ear - Utsler has earned a reputation for listening carefully and transforming feedback into action. "I've made a tremendous effort to be someone who doesn't just sit behind a desk," he says. "I've been out in the communities, on the beaches, and on the waters listening to everyone from small business owners to deckhands to legislators in order to understand their concerns and to show through my actions that BP is committed to helping to restore the Gulf. My visibility has meant that over the past two years I've become recognized as an important face of BP in the Gulf - a face that represents a team of extraordinarily committed people." Now that face will become familiar to people throughout the US, thanks to a new national TV ad that will begin airing on Monday. "The ad reflects BP's approach throughout the response - it's our actions, not just our words, that matter," he says. "The ad stresses the actions we have taken, but

TNK-BP is a major vertically integrated Russian oil company headquartered in Moscow. It is Russia's third-largest oil producer and among the ten largest private oil companies in the world. TNK-BP is Russia's third largest oil company in terms of reserves and crude oil production. It is 50% owned by BP and 50% by a group of Russian businessmen, represented by the AAR (Alfa-Access-Renova) consortium. Since the merger in 2003 between BP's and AAR's assets in Russia and Ukraine, TNK-BP has expanded through acquisitions such as that of Slavneft and organically through improving operational efficiency. In that time, over a backdrop of shareholder dispute, TNK-BP's profits have risen from US$2.7 billion in 2003 to $5.3 billion in 2009. DeGolyer and MacNaughton confirmed that as of 31 December 2009 TNK-BP's total proved reserves amounted to 11.667 billion barrels (1.8549×109 m3) of oil equivalent, applying PRMS (formerly SPE) criteria. Proved reserves constitute a total proved PRMS reserve replacement ratio of 329%. History On 1 September 2003, BP and AAR announced the creation of a strategic partnership to jointly hold their oil assets in Russia and Ukraine. As a result, TNK-ВР was created. ААR contributed its holdings in TNK International, ONAKO, SIDANCO, RUSIA Petroleum (which held licenses for the Kovykta field and the Verkhnechonsk field), and the Rospan field in West Siberia (the New Urengoy and East Urengoy deposits). BP contributed its holding in SIDANCO, RUSIA Petroleum, and its BP Moscow retail network. In January 2004, BP and AAR reached an agreement to incorporate AAR's 50% stake in Slavneft into TNK-BP. Slavneft, which has operations in Russia and Belarus, was previously owned jointly by AAR and Sibneft (now Gazprom Neft). In 2009, TNK-BP increased production to 1.69 million barrels per day (269×103 m3/d) of oil equivalent (excluding TNK-BP's share in Slavneft production) compared to 1.642 million barrels per day (261.1×103 m3/d) of oil equivalent pro

http://www.euractiv.com/energy/bp-turns-government-russian-vent-news-515565 BP slutar ett stormigt förhållande med ryska tycoons från ett företag som kallas AAR och riktar i stället ett partnerskap med statligt ägda Rosneft. Affären, värt över 25 miljarder dollar (19.18 miljarder euro) skulle kunna ge det brittiska oljebolaget ett spel av mellan 16% och 20% i gigantisk rysk olja. Avtalet, som har ännu inte att slutföras, men som skulle kunna offentliggöras på måndag eller tisdag folds BP: s hälften av TNK-BP, Rysslands tredje största oljebolaget i Rosneft, mot kontanter och Rosneft materiel. BP kan till slut en stormig relation med sina partner i företaget, AAR, och för att göra närmare band till en rysk regering som utövar en mycket strängare håll på oljeindustrin än i det gjorde under 1990-talet när BP första investerat i det. TNK-BP är mycket lönsamma och ger en fjärdedel av BP: s totala produktion, men dess fält är mogen, och de sovjetiska-född business tycoons som äger den andra hälften genom AAR var för BP: s Sök efter tillväxt i oljerika Ryssland genom närmare band med Rosneft och dess kraftfulla boss. Ska affären vara klar och överleva en månader lång godkännandeprocessen, BP: s exponering till Ryssland skulle bli lägre, men det kunde säkra det platser på Rosneft styrelse och närmare band än någon av konkurrenterna till Igor Sechin, verkställande direktör för Rosneft, som har en betydande säga i energipolitiken. I ett uttalande på måndagen bekräftade erbjudande från Rosneft för första gången, sade BP "ingen överenskommelse har ännu nåtts." Omkörning Exxon? Rosneft är redan upp producerar företag i Ryssland. Om som lösning, köper det ut AARS hälften av TNK-BP-samt, kommer att styra nästan halva landets produktion och pumpa mer olja och gas än Exxon Mobil, världens högsta internationella oljebolag. Affären ger Rosneft extra utdata och kassaflöde att finansiera utforskning av Ry
