{{#badges: Global corporations|Corporate rights}}

BP is a global oil, gas and chemical company headquartered in Britain. (Add 2009 earnings here) The company owns numerous refineries and chemical manufacturing plants around the world. [1] BP is the United Kingdom's largest corporation.[citation needed] Its global headquartered are in London, and its U.S. hq is Houston, Texas. Its major brands include BP, AmPm, Arco, and Castrol.[citation needed]

BP's Deep Horizon Disaster

BP owns the deep oil drilling rig, "Deep Horizon," that exploded on April 20, 2010, and has been releasing over 200,000 gallons of oil per day into the Gulf of Mexico since then. [1]


BP's actions involving the safety of this dangerous drilling operation and the efforts to contain the spill or clean it up have caused tremendous controversy. [2]For example, its use of hazardous chemicals to "disperse" to oil is leading to other significant problems and does not actually "clean up" the oil, as discussed below.[3]

Use of toxic "dispersants"

BP has used the chemical called Corexit as part of what it calls an effort to "disperse" the oil.[4] Dispersants are chemical products used to clean and control oil spills, often misleadingly analogized to dish soap because it works in a similar way; dispersants, like dishwashing liquid, bonds to the oil molecules, which is then diluted in the water.[5] However, dispersants are not anywhere near harmless as dish soap; there is little knowledge of the side-effects of using dispersants.[6] Dispersants have also never been used to the extent used by BP in the Gulf of Mexico, reaching record levels that has resulted in over 700,000 gallons of the chemical dumped into the water.[7]

Oil dispersal means the oil is neither eliminated nor reduced in toxicity. [8] Dispersing the oil renders it impossible to trap, vacuum, or soak up along the shoreline, meaning both the oil and the chemical dispersant will spread into the ocean. [9] Spreading the oil via use of dispersant masks the extent of damage created by the oil spill by allowing the oil to flow into the ocean unnoticed where it will continue damaging marine life, rather than collecting on the shore. Id.[10]

Clean-up efforts already resulting in human illness

Stories of illness are already emerging from oil spill workers. Seven workers were hospitalized Wednesday, May 26th, 2010, complaining of nausea, dizziness, and headaches.[11] Some of the first responders who have been tasked to help clean up the oil are reporting symptoms of disorientation, shortness of breath, coughing, a feeling of being drugged, and fatigue.[12] For example, one reported feeling as though he was going to die and has been "coughing up stuff because your lungs fill up." Id.[13] Marine toxicologist Riki Ott has said the chemicals used by BP can "wreck havoc" on a person's body and even lead to death. Id.[14] Senior policy analyst of the EPA, Hugh Kaufman likens the situation to previous toxic waste disasters, such as the World Trade Center and the Exxon Valdez clean-up: "There's no way you can be working in that toxic soup with getting exposures." Id.[15] Riki Ott also finds the situation reminiscent of the Exxon Valdez disaster, where the clean-up response resulted in thousands of sick workers. OSHA requires BP to provide fitted respirators[16], but these regulations go unenforced and workers in the Gulf are cleaning up the oil without even the protection of basic gloves.[17] The vice-president of the Louisiana Shrimper's Association is demanding respirators for all fishermen, stating the dispersant is poisoning the clean-up workers.[18]

Riki Ott is calling the current situation a disaster; fishermen are falling ill but not asking for necessary protection in fear of jeopardizing their jobs.[19] Gary Burris, a fisherman who is part of the clean-up force, stated many fishermen are working sick, afraid to speak out because it could cost them their job with BP, the only income they have now because of the oil spill.[20]

Other BP spills and disasters

BP has a history of incidents, having over 8,000 other spills (of oil, dangerous chemicals, gases, etc.) since 1990, both minor and major. [21] Between 2,205 and 2,629 incidents occurred in Texas and Louisiana each and there are over two dozen other states that all have suffered a number of oil or chemical spills.[22] There were 550 previous incidents in the Mississippi Canyon near the area where the current Deepwater Horizon disaster is unfolding.[23]

Two major incidents in the recent past are the Texas City Refinery explosion and the Prudhoe Bay spill. In 2005, in a refinery located in Texas City, Texas, a unit that manufactures jet fuel exploded, leading to 15 deaths and 170 injuries.[24] Investigation showed that the accident was due in part by placing temporary trailers near very volatile units, which the BP management did to cut maintenance and capital spending costs.[25] Other factors that contributed to the accident were corroded pipes about to burst, antiquated equipment, and broken safety alarms; the poor status of the facility was both easily fixable and known by the management.[26]

In 2006, a BP pipeline in Alaska burst and 267,000 gallons of crude oil was spilled into the North Slope of Alaska's tundra.[27] Again the cause of the accident was easily preventable: BP virtually abandoned the process of cleaning and inspecting pipes for corrosion to save on costs.[28]

BP was also accused of manipulating gas and propane prices earlier this decade.[29] Regulators alleged that BP artificially increased prices of crude oil and gasoline by buying up stocks and controlling the market; they drove up the prices by 50% by keeping supplies off the market.[30] BP eventuallly settled in 2007 and agreed to pay $303 million dollars to end the charges against them.[31]

BP Profits and Lobbying

Add information from BP's profit statements for the last three to five years here.

Add information on legislation BP lobbied against or for here, beyond the information below:

The BP political action committee (PAC) gave $219,500 to federal candidates in the 05/06 election cycle - 34% to Democrats, 65% to Republicans. [32]

BP is one of the largest energy company contributors to both Republican and Democratic candidates for Congress. These contributions total $122,300 to the 110th US Congress (as of the third quarter), the largest of which has been to Rep. Mary Landrieu (D-LA). Rep. Landrieu, for her part, has been supportive of the oil industry on energy, war and climate bills.[2] (Add information from more recent reports)

More information on oil industry contributions to Congress can be found at FollowtheOilMoney.org, created by Oil Change International.

The company spent $3,650,000 for lobbying in 2006. BP used several lobbying firms but most lobbying was done with its in-house lobbyists. [33]

(add information from 2007, 2008, 2009, and any info from 2010) (Plus, who are its main lobby firms and lobbyists?)
