[QUOTE=alcor;36791]Wrong.
BP America runs its own show in accordance with the lack of rules and guidance.
If you could open your eyes you’ll find that of all the majors operating in the GOM this disaster could only be covered by BP, because of its worldwide operations. BP world are bailing out BP America.[/QUOTE]
All the oil majors have worldwide operations, even the little guys like Exxon, Shell, Chevron, Total etc.
BP world is BP period unless BP world doesn’t derive any income from BP America.
It almost sounds like what you’re saying is BP started drilling in the USA and employed a bunch of hayseeds to take advantage of the lax US regulations thinking they could blame it on the hayseeds and the lack of regulations if they screwed up. As long as the going was good they’d pocket the profits but when the oil hit the fan they’d blame it on the locals and lax regulations. You may be right, perhaps Royal Dutch Shell is doing the same thing.
