The oil rig disaster in the Gulf of Mexico has damaged BP's reputation will they manage to avoid a share collapse to 350p.?



472p to buy this morning.

hyleo - i think a short in the morning will be a wrong call, and worse if you already have same - see ST headline

News today also that Libya have granted BP drilling rights in new field.

I'm not suggesting BP's long term woes are over, however i think we'll see a short term pullback to 320/330 pretty quickly. I think those in the USA that matter must realise pretty soon that too deep a fall in BP's share price will leave the company in a position where it cannot afford to cover the clean up costs - so who would pay then?

Even the most hawkish USA observers must recognise that nobody wins if there's no corporate carcass left over to pick clean.

The oil giant had anticipated completing its work closing the well in early August.

Although this remains the official target date, progress has been faster than expected.

BP is understood to be hoping to seal the well by mid-July, saving millions in clean-up fees.

'We know that Tony Hayward is leaving his position and he will introduce his successor,' Igor Sechin told reporters ahead of a meeting with Hayward. Sechin, who is deputy prime minister and board chairman at Russia's biggest oil company, Rosneft , was responding to a question asking about the subject matter of the meeting.
