BP Wins Approvals to Resume Drilling in the Gulf of Mexico
BP has won approval to resume drilling in the Gulf Mexico, 18 months after the well exploded and killed 11 workers. Then it caused a natural disaster. I don’t understand why they got this passed and how they had the money to pay these and then turn around and go back to the well.
Regulators had approved plans for drilling only depths of 6,000 and 200 miles off the coast of New Orleans. US official said in a statement. “Out review of BP’s plan included verification of BP’s compliance with the heightened standards.” The US Bureau of Ocean Energy Management said that BP’s exploration plan meets the stringent standards issued by the government.
During the Deep water disaster people were questioning if BP had a future in the US.

I’m surprised that BP got the approval to drill there so quickly, but then again I’m not entirly sure how much BP has improved. Did the article say anything about how BP has improved in the time since the diaster?
It is surprising that BP got approval for further drilling so quickly. You would think they would be subjected to more review before being let back into the Gulf. By the way, Justin, where did you find your article?
Although it is surprising that BP got the approval so fast, but maybe places all over the world needs oil and there’s no other option.
