On April 20, 2010, BP’s oil drilling rig caught fire and sank in the Gulf of Mexico. Throughout the following months, the company attempted to keep everyone from stockholders to environmental activists updated with their cleanup efforts. The mass amounts of oil that spilled into the Gulf took many years to cleanup. Most of BP’s updates came from press releases, along with speaking to reporters about their cleanup efforts. The idea of writing press releases for a company allows the public to stay

pipeline companies, equipment makers, oil field service providers, and gas station operators - which have all enjoyed new profits. Leading the charge are the world 's largest integrated oil companies: Exxon Mobil, BP, and Royal Dutch/Shell (Yahoo Finance, Industry Profile). British Petroleum (BP) is of one of the world 's largest energy companies, providing its customers with

The Root of Beyond Petroleum 's Issues in the face of Environmental Disasters, (Mis) Management and their Public Image. Drilling for oil is risky business and what makes it worthwhile is the payoff. To put it simply fossil fuels, oil and its distillates remain to be the lifeblood flowing through the veins of a highly industrialized and demanding modern industry. Transportation, Power Generation, Manufacturing, Motorsport, our very lives depend on oil. Arguments can be made that the most recent

Analysis – BP America, Inc.: The Prudhoe Bay Oil Spill and a Commitment to “Being Green” Michelle L. Staton Case Summary The Angelo-Persian Oil Company was formed in 1909 by a wealthy Englishman named William Knox D’Arcy. It did not operate under the British Petroleum (BP) name until 1954. In early 1959, BP discovered hydrocarbons under the North Sea and Alaska, and found the West Sole gas field in 1965 which was the first oil exploration success in British waters. In 1969, BP discovered

oil rig was owned and managed by Transocean, while British Petroleum (BP) leased the rig and hired supervisors. On that fateful day, a natural gas surge erupted from within the drilling line of the oil rig resulting in a massive explosion (Heller 29). The explosion damaged the drilling platform and killed eleven workers, triggering investigations by the Department of Homeland Security. There are a number of contemporary issues affecting today’s companies and relevant stakeholders that can be derived

In 2009, the Deepwater Horizon rig drilled the very deepest oil well in our history at a vertical depth of 10,683 m as well as a measured depth of 10,685 m in the Tiber field located at Keathley Canyon block 102 some 400km

I. INTRODUCTION 1. Scope of Research The spectrums of oil spill issues are diverse and large. They range from environmental issue to economic, ecological, ethical, politics and policies. Among many other oil spills, the BP oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, occurred on April 20, 2010 was recorded as the greatest environmental disaster in our history (BP leak the world's worst accidental oil spill, 2010). The goal of our research is to seek possible solutions to reduce the risks of offshore

The world has been affected by many environmental disasters, these events have impacted many of our ecosystems including the lives of many species, as well as human life. Because of past events, economists have learned from mistakes to continue to work on an improved environmental life as well as looking for solutions to improve it. The Deepwater Horizon spill, better knows as the “BP Oil Spill” was an eighty seven oil spill effecting the entire Gulf of Mexico. The oil spill which occurred in 2010
