Oil giants BP agree £160m payout from makers of blow-out preventer

20.05.12

THE maker of the Deepwater Horizon blow-out preventer that failed to stop last year's massive oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico has agreed to pay £160 million to BP.

BP said it was "in their mutual best interests, and the agreement is not an admission of liability by either party". BP and Cameron International are dropping all claims against one another, they said.

The settlement comes in advance of a US federal trial over the catastrophic Gulf oil spill.

The non-jury trial is scheduled to begin in February and determine fault in the April 20, 2010, explosion and subsequent oil spill off the Louisiana coast of more than 200 million gallons of oil.

The settlement with Cameron does not end the legal fighting over the blow-out of the Macondo well, which was owned by London-based BP and two partners, MOEX and Anadarko.

BP has already settled claims with those two companies and a third company, Weatherford, the maker of a part used in the well.
