Ua hoʻomaka hou ʻo BP i ke kūʻai aku i kāna mau kuleana ma kekahi mau kahua ʻo North Sea, ua hōʻike ʻo Reuters. Ua hōʻike ka ʻoihana nūhou ua kāhea ʻo BP i nā ʻaoʻao hoihoi e waiho i nā noi me ka ʻole o ka lā palena.
Ua ʻae ʻo BP i hoʻokahi makahiki i hala aku nei e kūʻai aku i kāna mau kuleana ma ka ʻāina ʻo Andrew a me nā kahua ʻo Shearwater iā Premier Oil no ka huina o $625 miliona, ma ke ʻano he ʻāpana o kāna mau hana e kūʻai aku i $25 biliona o nā waiwai ma ka makahiki 2025 e hōʻemi i ka aie a me ka hoʻololi ʻana i nā pae haʻahaʻa - ka ikehu kalapona.
