BP has been directly involved in several major environmental and safety incidents. The Deepwater Horizon oil spillthe largest accidental release of oil into marine waters in history, resulted in severe environmental, health and economic consequences, [13] and serious legal and public relations repercussions for BP.

In May a group of British geologists discovered a large amount of oil at Masjid-i-Suleiman in Mohammerah, today the Iranian province of Khuzestan. It was the first commercially significant find of oil in the Middle East.

William Knox D'Arcyby contract with the Emir of Mohammerah, Sheikh Khaz'al Khan al-Kaabiobtained permission to explore for oil for the first time in the Middle East. The oil discovery led to petrochemical industry development and also the establishment of industries that strongly depended on oil. On 14 Aprilthe Anglo-Persian Oil Company APOC was incorporated as a subsidiary of Burmah Oil Company. Some of the shares were sold to the public. Immediately after establishing the company, the British government asked Percy CoxBritish resident to Bushehrto negotiate an agreement with Khaz'al for APOC to obtain a site on Abadan Island for a refinery, depot, storage tanks, and other operations.

The oil concession rights were awarded to the company on 23 December and the company started drilling operations in InBritish Petroleum Chemicals was incorporated as a joint venture of AIOC and The Distillers Company. Inthe company was renamed British Hydrocarbon Chemicals. Following World War II, nationalistic sentiments were on the rise in the Middle East; most notable being Iranian nationalismand Arab Nationalism.

In Iran, the AIOC and the pro-western Iranian government led by Prime Minister Ali Razmara resisted nationalist calls to revise AIOC's concession terms in Iran's favour. In MarchRazmara was assassinated and Mohammed Mossadeqa nationalist, was elected as the new prime minister by the Majlis of Iran parliament.

The British government, which owned the AIOC, contested the nationalisation at the International Court of Justice at The Haguebut its complaint was dismissed.

ByBP's branding campaign had succeeded with the culmination of a Effie Award from by the American Marketing Associationand consumers had the impression that BP was one of the greenest petroleum companies in the world.

BP attained a negative public image from the series of industrial accidents that occurred through the s, and its public image was severely damaged after the Deepwater Horizon explosion and Gulf Oil spill. In the immediate aftermath of the spill, BP initially downplayed the severity of the incidentand made many of the same PR errors that Exxon had made after the Exxon Valdez disaster.

BP began a re-branding campaign in lateand decided to focus its brand on the idea of "bringing brilliant minds together with technology at a massive scale to meet the world's energy needs", and focus its messaging on telling stories about people. In MayBP tasked a press office staff member to openly join discussions on the Wikipedia article's talk page and suggest content to be posted by other editors.

In BP became the first multinational outside the reinsurance industry to publicly support the scientific consensus on climate changewhich Eileen Caussen, President of the Pew Center on Global Climate Change described as a transformative moment on the issue. We in BP have reached that point.

The charges stemmed from the to dumping of hazardous wastes on Endicott IslandAlaska by BP's contractor Doyon Drilling. The firm illegally discharged waste oil, paint thinner and other toxic and hazardous substances by injecting them down the outer rim, or annuli, of the oil wells. BPXA failed to report the illegal injections when it learned of the conduct, in violation of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act.

BP has one of the worst safety records of any major oil company that operates in the United States. Between andBP refineries in Ohio and Texas accounted for 97 percent of "egregious, willful" violations handed out by the U. Occupational Safety and Health Administration OSHA.

In Juneover 50, Texas City residents joined a class-action suit against BP, alleging they became sick in as a result of the emissions release from the refinery.

BP said the release harmed no one. In Marchcorrosion of a BP Exploration Alaska BPXA oil transit pipeline in Prudhoe Bay transporting oil to the Trans-Alaska Pipeline led to a five-day leak and the largest oil spill on Alaska's North Slope.

Further research suggested that the oil on the bottom of the seafloor was not degrading. In OctoberAl Jazeera reported that the gulf ecosystem was "in crisis", citing a decline in seafood catches, as well as deformities and lesions found in fish.

Oil cleanup crews worked four days a week on 55 miles of Louisiana shoreline throughout The study found that even very low concentrations of crude oil can slow the pace of fish heartbeats.

BP disputed the study, which was conducted as part of the federal Natural Resource Damage Assessment process required by icici forex selling rates Oil Pollution Act. BP responded that the concentrations of oil in the study were a level rarely seen in the Gulf, but The New York Times reported that the BP statement was contradicted by the study.

In Februarya study from University of South Florida researchers showed the possibility that subsurface oil particles from Deepwater Horizon had traveled underwater as far south as Sanibel, Florida and reached the West Florida Shelf.

Fish along the way were found to have diseased livers from filtering hydrocarbons chemically similar to oil from Deepwater Horizoncausing them immune system problems. Oil particles buried in gulf sediment could remain there for years.

Research discussed at a conference included preliminary results of an ongoing study being done by the National Institute for Environmental Health Sciences indicating that oil spill cleanup workers carry biomarkers of chemicals contained in the spilled oil and the dispersants used.

Several studies found that a "significant percentage" of Gulf residents reported mental health problems such as anxiety, depression and PTSD. Australia's 60 Minutes reported that people living along the gulf coast were becoming sick from the mixture of Corexit and oil. But BP and the EPA clearly knew about the toxicity of the Corexit long before this spill. The safety manuals read: A peer-reviewed study published in The American Journal of Medicine reported significantly altered blood profiles of individuals exposed to the spilled oil and dispersants that put them at increased risk of developing liver cancer, leukemia and other disorders.

Ina study was published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences which found heart deformities in fish exposed to oil from the spill.

The researchers said that their results probably apply to humans as well as malaysia stock market high dividend share. On 11 Marchthe US Department of Justice formed the " Deepwater Horizon Task Force" to consolidate several federal agencies' investigations into possible td ameritrade options account charges stemming the explosion and spill.

District Court for the Eastern District of Louisiana. District Judge Carl Barbier. The consolidated trial's first phase began on 25 Februaryto determine the liability of BP, Transocean, Halliburton, and other companies, and to determine whether the companies acted with gross negligence and willful misconduct.

On 4 SeptemberJudge Barbier ruled in the first phase plasco energy stock market the case that BP had committed gross negligence.

Barbier ruled that BP had acted with "conscious disregard of known risks. The fund would not supersede individual or state's rights for future claims. Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals rejected an effort by BP to curb payment of what BP claimed to be "fictitious" and "absurd" claims to the settlement fund for businesses and persons affected by the oil spill.
