BP to start Libya exploratory drilling in July 2010.


BP oil disaster in USA Coasts has not made our department to terminate a drilling contract with BP. The world found it so strage that Dr. Shokry approved the drilling project in the Libyan waters and some considered as a gamble with BP.
I have another saying, BP is a big organisation and very well established and has very long experience in the Oil and Gas Business. Add to that , they have very good safety regulations. You may find it strange when I say that. BP was responsible for the disaster just because they are the well owner, but who should take responsibilty is "Trans Oceans" who are not even mentioned in the News.
Back to the Subject, Should BP continue working In Libya, Yes they have to because the contract was already signed and 1 Billione dollars will be spent on the project. Besides some Political agenda was involved and we have seen how dramatically the Libyan -UK Relations immproved.
To summ up , BP can continue working in Libya and should finish what the have started already.

Well, I respect your opinion but I think they showed to be irresponsible, they were full of greed and didn’t care about how their consequences will effect the many people around that body of water.
Signed agreement or not, you act irresponsible in one place why should we give them another ground to play with?
Improving relations means nothing, because at the end of their fiasco, there might not be any people left to have relations with!!!!!

Ok Nisreen,

Me too I respect your opinion.

I have never said that what they have done was alright and said all rosy and fancies about it.

To some extent I do not agree with you about BP being irresponsible. I find them very responsible although it was not their mistake alone. Technically, Trans Oceans and Halliburton (American Companies) played the major part in the disaster.

Let us hope that there will be no accedent and the hole project will be successful with no disasters.

By the way, we have 3 Offshore oil fields in Libya , Run by ENI (Italian) and Total (French) Bot they are not as much qualified as BP in terms of safty regulations and standards.

Thank you my lady
