BP Reports ?3.1-Billion Loss; Will Divest Texas, California Refineries

摘要

BP Plc announced February 1 that it will sell half of its U.S. refining capacity as one of Europe's largest oil companies recovers from the Deepwater Horizon spill in the Gulf of Mexico. BP also reported a ?3.1-billion loss (US$4.3-billion) for 2010 – the U.K. firm's first, full-year loss in nearly two decades. Following the abysmal year, BP said it will dispose of its 475,000 barrel-per-day (b/d) refinery in Texas City, Texas, and its 265,000-b/d Carson, Calif., refinery, according to a company press statement.
