BP Closed One of the Largest Oilfields in US
BP was forced to close one of the largest oilfields in Alaska
BP was forced to close one of the largest oilfields in Alaska because of a strong corrosion to transit pipes and oil leak.
The shutdown of the Prudhoe Bay oil field, which produces about 8% of US daily oil output, caused BP's oil output decline in 400, 000 bpd.
"We don't know how long the field will be down but we will not resume operation of the field until we and government regulators are satisfied that they can be operated safely and pose no threat to the environment," said company spokesman Darren Beaudo.
BP shares were down 1.5% at 626 pence in early trading in London.
"We don't know how long the field will be down but we will not resume operation of the field until we and government regulators are satisfied that they can be operated safely and pose no threat to the environment," said company spokesman Darren Beaudo.
