BP settles Macondo claims with Anadarko

摘要

London-Anadarko Petroleum has agreed to pay BP $4 billion to settle all claims related to the Deepwater Horizon accident and Macondo oil spill in the US Gulf of Mexico last year, the companies said October 17. The settlement, which is 35% less than the $6.1 billion that BP had been seeking from Anadarko, means BP has now recovered $5.06 billion from both its partners in the Macondo lease after a similar agreement with Japan's Mitsui in May.
