BP manages its crisis

Dear readers,

I have read a very interesting article about the Bp oil spill in Gulf of Mexico.

It shows how BP tries to manage its ecologic incident because it takes big political and economical proportion.

Firs of all, BP stopped recently the oil leak with a very ingenious system:

BP’s engineers have built big screw tops in order to contain 98 tonne of hydrocarbon.  Thanks to this action, to oil leak should be stop very quickly but the result is not quit sure…

In spite of this ingenious invention, BP will have a lot of problem because they are accused of lacking vigilance about their oil platform.

Bp tries to defend us and give some response on their website:

“BP and the gulf of Mexico Alliance announce Implementation of BP’s $500Million independent Research Initiative.”

American government is afraid of the BP invention results because news leaks can arrive soon. All 600 animal species are not save today and coasts are very damaged… For the American government, it’s clear; BP should pay in order to repair all damages.

“BP will receive an invoice”

6 members of the House of Representatives have presented a text, which explains that this type of incident represents 75 million of dollars. Americans senators want to elevate this amount at 10 billion of dollars… 

The award will be terrible for BP! In fact, this type of disaster has a lot of consequences in the environment. I think it is totally normal that BP should do everything as possible in order to repair the situation. This disaster will have an important impact on environment but also on economy and policy! This disaster involved a lot of politics and economics decisions to find solutions for the country.

Regards,

Pauline
