My client has various personal and family related holdings of BP stock and options. Due to his faithful long standing service to BP the total value of his holdings amounts to in excess of 100m pounds sterling. Mr Heywood is a British citizen but it has been my sorrowful duty to advise him that his personal and family wealth is at great risk of being wrongfully confiscated by US authorities acting extra-territorially under special powers authorised by the US government and with the secret consent of a supine UK political and legal establishment. Obama? Mr Heywood is also at great risk of losing his personal liberty and becoming another victim of the long reach of the politicised USA legal system in the same way that was meted out to other British subjects including, most egregiously, the 3 bankers from Natwest. Unfortunately I am not able to advise or assist him in this regard as my expertise lies in the structuring of executive compensation schemes and the management of private endowments; but I am horrified at the witch hunt being perpetrated on my client by the Obama administration and its agencies and I will do all that I can to safeguard my client's financial position. I am reaching out to you as it has become clear that Mr Hayward's holdings must be liquidated and held in trust for the benefit of himself and his family beyond USA or UK legal jurisdiction. Exercise of his options and liquidation of his stock is now complete but it has proven necessary to assign title to the ensuing 100m pounds of cash to a person such as yourself who resides in a non recognised tax haven country and where there is a sound basis for

Madrid, 22nd March 2007: BP Solar today announced that it has begun constructing a mega cell plant at its European headquarters in Tres Cantos, Madrid. For phase 1 of the Madrid expansion, BP Solar is aiming to expand its annual cell capacity from 55 MW to around 300 MW. This follows the announcement on 21st March of the construction of a similar facility in Bangalore, India. The new cell lines use state-of-the-art screen printing technology, much of it proprietary to BP Solar. By fully automating wafer handling, the lines will be able to handle the very thinnest of wafers available and ensuring the highest possible quality. Construction of the new Madrid manufacturing facility is already underway, with the first line expected to be fully operational before the summer. Construction has also begun on lines two and three. In addition to the new manufacturing lines, the Tres Cantos site will be remodelled to include a new photovoltaic (PV) systems prototype area, a visitor training centre and product testing and development facilities. "The announcement of the two mega cell plants cements BP Solar's commitment to maintain a market leadership position in PV" said Lee Edwards, BP Solar's CEO. "The new cell technologies we are using, our intellectual property in casting with Mono2 and the contracts we have signed to secure preferential access to metallurgical grade silicon are all important steps towards our goal of offering customers PV-generated electricity on a par with the cost of conventional grid-supplied electricity." The Madrid mega cell plant will be one of the largest such facilities in Europe. Since the site was acquired by BP Solar in 2002, a tri-generation power plant has been built providing heat and power to the site. The facility is ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 certified. BP Solar chose its Tres Cantos facility for one of its mega cell plants due to confidence in the growth projections of the European market. "We already have an established ma

Bp holdings barcelona Mainland China Over the last 30 years China has been through dramatic change. At BP we haven't just watched it happen, we've been part of it What we do Since we arrived in China in 1973, our development can be followed in three stages. In the beginning, our growth came from chemicals licensing and marketing. During the 1980s this shifted into onshore and offshore exploration. By mid 1990s, we found ourselves in large-scale equity investment and manufacturing. To date we're one of the largest foreign energy investors in the country with nearly $5 billion of cumulative commercial investment. BP China's work here is varied and wide. Its business activities include offshore gas production, chemical joint ventures, aviation fuel supply, LPG marketing, oil product and lubricant retailing and the sales of chemicals technologies. We were one of the first foreign companies in China to explore for oil and gas offshore. The Yacheng 13-1 gas field was one of China's largest offshore gas discoveries we made, and it's currently operated by our business partner CNOOC and supply Hong Kong and Hainan Province. On land, we are also playing a big role in bringing liquefied natural gas (LNG) to consumers in Guangdong and Fujian provinces. Working with our Chinese partners, we are proud to be the only foreign partner in China's first LNG terminal in Shenzhen. We're also making a large-scale investment in chemicals joint ventures, which include the Shanghai Ethylene Cracker complex, Zhuhai PTA plant, Chongqing and Nanjing Acetic Acid plants. BP is a familiar brand to the Chinese consumer. It has a leading position in the retail market in which we work with PetroChina and Sinopec to build and operate over 800 dual-branded retail stations in Guangdong and Zhejiang Provinces. We're also the only foreign company participating in the aviation fuels market. BP's lubricants are marketed throughout China under the premium brand of Castrol. W

BP Selected For Exclusive Negotiations To Finalise Participation In China's First LNG Import Scheme http://www.bp.com/genericarticle.do?categoryId=2012968&contentId=2001374 BP announced today that it has been selected to enter exclusive negotiations to secure the position as the foreign partner in the JV tasked to develop China's first liquefied natural gas (LNG) import terminal and associated pipeline. The Chinese sponsors and BP will jointly conduct a Feasibility Study which, once approved by Chinese authorities, will lead to the formation of a JV company responsible for the construction and initial operating phase of the new plant. The Guangdong project in southern China will consist of an LNG re-gassification terminal near the city of Shenzhen, with a capacity of three million tonnes a year, together with 300 km of associated pipeline linking the terminal to the region in its first phase. It is due on stream in 2006. A successful finalisation of the negotiations will lead to BP taking a 30% equity stake in the project, partnering with a coalition led by the China National Offshore Oil Corporation (CNOOC) (33%), local Guangdong companies (31%) and two Hong Kong energy companies (6%). "This is a significant new step in expanding our China operations, and an excellent strategic fit with our Asia-Pacific gas reserves," BP chief executive Sir John Browne said. "The Guangdong project will cement our position as a leading global partner for China's rapidly growing gas markets and provides a platform for further growth for the BP Group in the province of Guangdong. China is the world's largest energy market outside the U.S. with a market expanding with continued economic deregulation. As China moves to cleaner fuels, gas demand will increase more rapidly still, and we now have the strongest possible access to the markets being created by that growth." BP's Phase one investment is estimated at some $180 million. An anticipated Phase two expansion

HYDERABAD: The CBI court on Friday postponed the bail petition of IAS officer BP Acharya, an accused in the Emaar scam case, to Monday for further hearing. Arguing for Acharya, his counsel V Surendar Rao said, since the key accused in the case, Koneru Rajendra Prasad, had already been granted bail by the AP high court, his client should also be given bail. "The question of tampering with the evidence does not arise as the CBI had filed the chargesheet in the case six months ago," Acharya's counsel told court. Srinivas Reddy seeks bail BV Srinivas Reddy, an accused in the Obulapuram Mining Company (OMC) case, filed his fourth bail plea in the CBI court on Friday. The CBI has been opposing his bail plea on the ground that Gali Janardhan Reddy's personal assistant Ali Khan's examination was not yet over. But since Khan is now in CBI custody and the chargesheet in OMC case has already been filed, Reddy wanted court togrant him bail. SC puts off hearing in Vakapalli gangrape case The Supreme Court on Friday suspended for six weeks the order of AP high court directing the Paderu trial court to begin proceedings against the accused cops in the Vakapalli tribal women gangrape case. The SC made this interim order while hearing a plea filed by the accused cops who felt aggrieved by the HC order. The SC issued notices to the authorities and the complainants before admitting the plea and directed that responses be filed.

Tesoro Corp.'s buyout of BP plc's refinery in California, once finalized, will make the San Antonio petroleum company the biggest refiner in the state and also significantly expand its retail holdings. Tesoro announced Monday its plans to acquire BP's 266,000-barrel-per-day refinery in Carson, Calif. However, the purchase also includes a retail network of about 800 dealer-operated gas stations in Southern California, Nevada and Arizona as well as the ARCO and ampm convenience store brands. These independently owned and operated stores currently buy an average of 245,000 gallons per month wholesale from the BP refinery. This agreement with London-based BP is expected to bolster Tesoro's existing retail network, which currently consists of more than 1,375 branded stations - including nearly 590 company owned gas stations that operate under the Tesoro, USA Gasoline and Shell brands. The Carson refinery is located south of Los Angeles. Tesoro intends to integrate that refinery with its existing 97,000-barrel-per-day refinery in Wilmington, Calif. Tesoro also owns a 166,000-barrel-per-day refinery in Martinez, Calif. The purchase also includes three marine terminals; four land storage terminals; four product marketing terminals; and more than 100 miles of pipelines. Tesoro will have pipeline access to Los Angeles International Airport. The total deal is valued at $2.5 billion. San Antonio-based Tesoro (NYSE: TSO) operates seven refineries in the western United States with a combined capacity of 675,000 barrels per day. That number will jump to eight facilities once the BP refinery acquisition closes - slated for mid-2013.

"With BP's reputation as a leading sustainable company destroyed, investors weigh alternatives of divestment or increased engagement. SocialFunds.com -- The implications of the disastrous oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico are many. As the stock price of BP, the oil and gas company responsible for the disaster, plummets-as of this writing, it has lost more than a third of its value since the explosion that killed 11 workers- and its very survival as a company seems threatened, one such implication is the materiality of environmental, social, and corporate governance (ESG) issues. On Wednesday, FairPensions, the UK-based organization whose mission is to promote sustainability investment in the pensions and investment industry, issued a press release which stated, "The need for responsible ownership has been underlined by the financial crisis and by the latest in a list of avoidable BP crises." However, FairPensions continued, "recognition of the financial risks of 'extra-financial issues' is usually not matched by practice on the part of pension funds and their fund managers." Safety violations by BP have become almost a commonplace in recent years, even before the Gulf disaster. In 2005, an explosion at the company's Texas City Refinery in Texas killed 15 workers and injured more than 170. In 2009, the US Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) imposed a fine of $87.4 million, the largest ever by the agency, on the company for failing to correct safety hazards in Texas City. In 2006, 200,000 gallons of oil spilled at Prudhoe Bay on the North Slope in Alaska, leading to payment by the company of $20 million in fines and restitution. Yet somehow, despite its record of safety violations, BP was considered a leading sustainable company, at least until the Gulf oil spill. In 2008, Fortu ne magazine ranked BP among the top ten most accountable big companies, citing the company's investments in renewable energy and its creation,

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.[1][2] 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%.[3]

"The campaigns of U.S. Senate candidates Russ Feingold and Ron Johnson sparred Friday over ownership of stock in BP, the British company behind the Gulf Coast oil spill. Johnson reported owning individual BP stock valued at $116,000 to $315,000. Feingold, the Johnson campaign noted, is a member of the Wisconsin Retirement System, which has invested in BP. The fuel was a financial disclosure report Johnson filed with the Senate and tax returns he voluntarily made public - reports that confirmed Johnson's personal wealth and also highlighted his history of major charitable donations. The Republican business executive from Oshkosh has reported taxable income averaging about $1 million a year for the past five years and $400,000 in charitable donations he deducted on his taxes. Johnson owns millions in stock, while Feingold, the Democrat seeking a fourth term, has just one mutual fund valued at $50,000 to $100,000. Johnson listed 153 stock and bond holdings, including 19 valued at more than $100,000. Johnson last month was critical of President Barack Obama's move to pressure BP into setting up a claims fund for victims of the spill. The company already has paid out millions of dollars from that fund. Johnson said BP acted negligently but argued that Obama should have let the courts decide on damages. Aides to Johnson said he had no plans to sell the stock and shouldn't be criticized for owning such a popular and common stock. "The spill in the Gulf is an economic and economic disaster, and Ron is just as angry about that as anybody else," Johnson campaign manager Juston Johnson said. He said Ron Johnson thought it was inappropriate to focus first on BP's negligence before the spill was capped and a cleanup was under way. Feingold aides said it wasn't fair to compare Johnson's ownership of BP stock to Feingold's retirement account, which is directed by the state investment board on behalf of government employees. Feingold was a state legislator before his electi

Ethiopia's Yigrem Demelash brought the Kenyan dominance at the event to a halt today to grab the gold medal in style in a career best of 28:16.07. The Kenyan pair of Geoffrey Kipkorir Kirui and Philemon Kipchilis Cheboi had been hotly tipped as the main favourites but Demelash proved to be a master tactician and his arch-rivals Kenyans had to settle for the minor places on the podium on this occasion. The race opened quite conservatively as the lonesome early leader China's Binlu Wang went through the opening 1000m in 2:55.54 and a full 10-second margin over the rest of the 34 competitors. The Kenyan pair injected a lethal pace some 1500m into the race and only the Ethiopian duo and Uganda's Moses Martin Kurong were able to live with their pace. Kirui, who holds an impressive 26:55.73 to rank second on the all-time Junior lists, opened full gas after the second kilometre and an impressive 8:15 split for the following three kilometres led him lonesome at the front. Even before the halfway, Kirui began to lap the slowest contenders. The 5000m was reached in 14:14 with Kirui still leading but shortly after the sixth kilometre the Kenyan began to falter a bit to be caught by Cheboi and Demelash. It was Cheboi who took charge of the race then with respective splits of 2:48 for the seventh and eighth km; surprisingly, that kind of pace proved to be enough to leave Kirui behind while Demelash stayed comfortably at Cheboi's shoulder. The decisive moment came some three laps home when Cheboi was unable to maintain his own pace and was effortlessly passed by Demelash, who covered the penultimate 1000m section in 2:51.41. There were no remarkable changes in the closing laps with Demelash ruling at the bell some 40m ahead of Cheboi, himself another 30m clear of Kirui. In addition to Demelash PB of 28:16.07 Cheboi also produced a career best of 28:23.98 in second for Kirui's 28:30.47 in third. Demelash, who lapped every athlete from sixth onwards, is not entere
