B P oil pays out 10 bilion

[imdoo'n]

anyone hear that BP oil has paid out 10 billion to top executives and share holders. wonder if they are getting ready to run from the gulf disaster before they start getting a few public liability lawsuits filed.
do the big oil boys still have your best interests at heart.

US has limits set for the liability issue..... something to the tune of 75 mill....and trans ocean is trying to enact the mariners act of the early 1900's limits them to less than 25 mill...........I hear haliburton is asking where's george............ohh george......this will affect allot of people even here....... I have two words for everyone...insurance rates!..........watch what happens to all commercial policy holders with anything to do with the oil and gas industry......yes even here in canada............. I wish the alberta gov't had it's own insurance....... the private companies are crooks.

HAHA - anyone remember a few months back when BB&B said they weren't going to use "dirty oil" from Canada????

This is just another PR campaign from another stupid crappy soap shop - they are doing the same thing that BB&B did to prove they are "equal" to the consumer. Nothing but riding the coat-tails of someone else's idea. Way to go......

What a bunch of fawking hero's.....good thing they are wasting all that paper printing out photographs of the alleged terrible deforestation - who's creating the demand for the paper?? some dipsh!t printing out pointless posters to stick on their storefront......an LED monitor would be far more environmentally friendly and generate far less waste, but this really isn't about the environment, it's a "shock" campaign to get people to stop by the store to see the graphic photos with the hopes that they will come in and buy some crappy products while they're there.

Bunch of idiots. If USA or any companies don't want our oil i'm sure places like china would love it. Turn it off and keep it off, let them bastards freeze.

i'm thinking the 75 mil liabilty was long gone after the first week. maybe all those who profess their love for oil companies can step forward and share there love for bp and how they are looking for the little guy. Webo may be on to something?

Oh great, another Weibo lover!!! If you like him so much, why don't you move into his commune?

what are you a BP wage earner or something. maybe pull your head out of your butt, don't recall anyone liking weibo tactics. maybe you should head down and tell us how bp is going to save the gulf.
if you have something intelligent to say lets here it, otherwise keep the moronic crap to yourself.

 

[Sweigh]

I've read that Obama had the CEO of BP sign an agreement to cover the entire cost of cleanup from the spill. And considering the size of the Gulf of Mexico, there isn't enough money in the world to clean it all up.

Many people on wall street are beginning to talk about BP filing for chapter 11 sometime soon. They have already lost over 90 Billion in shareholder revenue, not to mention the billion+ related to attempts at sealing the pipe.

This will be ongoing for a while I think.

British Government is already trying to get the US to ease off on BP. worried about investors losing money.....don't want the risk, buy friggin savings bonds.

Anyone that supports Ludwig's way of thinking is the moron here.

And don't be trying to insinuate that I'm defending BP here. This is a terrible environmental tragedy plain and simple.

I have worked for BP and really liked the paycheck, It doesnt meen that I like what is happening inm the gulf. An accident happened and now they are trying to fix it, I would bet my house that they are doing everything they can possibly do and do it as fast as they can to fix it. Mabey they should have had better checks in place,they for surely will now. Alot of the rules we follow in the industry are because somewhere along the lines a problem ocured and a solution was made, now the solutions become rules. For your information alot of people in alberta and bc depend on paycheck from BP.

maybe not for long, may be time to exit the sinking ship. bp may not be long for this world, and then all bp employees will be looking for work in mass. bp and all the oil companies need to have contingency plans for this kind of environmental disaster, i suppose it costs money. every one who is approached by oil company should take a second look at all oilfield development of any kind. no contingency plan no drilling, especially in sour gas areas. although sweet wells can easily turn to sour. how are they going to fix your water if it becomes contaminated.

fargingeysore, maybe you never been around the hythe aec/encana plant site, i have, you could not stand the smell, who knows what kind of health hazards h2s can produce. do you, maybe give us the lowdown on your storehouse of knowledge.

Doing all they can LOL! Don't make me laugh. They are doing SOME but the one and only thing on their minds is how to fix it somewhat at the lowest cost to them. The first and only priority should be fixing it as fast and well as possible, money should be NO object. If it costs enough to put BP out of business so be it. If a bunch of investors loose everything because of the spill, so be it I could careless they deserve it. The accident was 100% the fault of BP being idiots. You ALWAYS have to think of the what if? And in something like that you need multiple safety features. There is not a single chance anything like this should of ever happened. Let's not forget how many workers lost their lives because of the idiotic companies doing, no money will fix that. How many wildlife are dieing? How many other workers are not working because of the spill like fishing, etc? Is BP paying them what they would make? Not a chance!

i understand and i agree it is not the average worker, it is the bean counters and decision makers, that have gotten bp to this point. we need the oil companies, the environmentalists, and government to make it all work. left unchecked the oil companies would go on a rampage( although farging might not think so, he can't seem to think for himself, likes to play the playground i'm telling bs). yes a paycheck is nice to have. you seem to have a handle on what is going on.
by the way good intelligent post.

thanks team dirt, keep forgetting there will be alot of people affected by this leak that had nothing to do with it. to you, just seems like we go from one disaster to another. i'm sure no one wanted this to happen, other than bin laden. maybe 2012 may come about yet.

 

[ZRrrr]

Some investigate journalists found out that it was an American group contracted by BP to setup and run that drill. Right after the accident they were told to shut up and disappear. IT is still BP's responsibility but there is a lot to the story.

What I really don't understand in all of this is how you can drill for oil in the ocean floor and never have plan for an accident of this nature. Did no one ever thing of this possibility. Mind boggling. Safety and environmental impact are after thoughts!?

What a freakin' mess!

Sorry if you think I can't think for myself just because I don't share your opinion on Weibo, and I don't even understand what you're trying to say with the statement after. No industry that affects the environment (many more than just the oil industry) should be left unchecked. The fact is that our world at this time depends on oil. That may change someday, but that is not the reality now. With the amount of extraction that takes place, all over the globe, there will be some environmental impact. I agree that Industry should be constantly trying to improve technology to reduce environmental impact. Unfortunately, where there is profit involved, many will not unless forced to. This is true of any resource based industry, not just oil.
