British Petroleom Oil
Responsible for Largest Oil Disaster Ever
BP Oil or British Petroleum Oil is the 3rd largest energy company in the world operating in more than 75 countries and was founded in 1906. The largest marine oil spill in history happened in 2010 when a massive amount of oil leaked from one of the wells into the Gulf of Mexico near the Mississippi River Delta. It was caused by a wellhead blowout during the digging process, which killed 11 people and eventually caused great harm to marine life and affecting about 800 km of American coastline. The company was plagued by many serious setbacks because of the spill. BP processed almost $1 million in damage claims and by far has paid the claimants close to $5 million
