BP shuts down 12 Alaska oil wells
The 12 wells being shut at Prudhoe Bay, North Star, and Milne Point fields pump a combined 8,000 barrels of oil a day.
BP’s move comes as the firm could face a criminal investigation in the US over a massive oil spill in Alaska in March.
It is under investigation by a grand jury over the spill of some 267,000 gallons (1 million litres) discovered at the Prudhoe Bay field, and the largest ever on Alaska’s North Slope region.
‘Arctic pack’
The leaking liquids in the latest claims are a freeze protection material used in well cellars.
The material known as “arctic pack”, is usually crude oil or diesel fuel added to the well.
None of the leaked material had reached the Arctic tundra, the firm said.
The recently appointed head of BP’s US operations, Robert Malone, has made cleaning up the firm’s public image a top priority.
BP says Mr Malone has ordered that an ombudsman should be employed by September to independently deal with staff concerns about environmental or safety issues.

His burial ceremony, which had all the trappings of a state funeral, was held at his private estate in Mecklenburg, Germany. The spectacle (photographs below) included a funeral procession led by a horse drawn funeral hearse with senior Nazis officials and senior Royal Dutch Shell directors in attendance, Nazi salutes at the graveside, swastika banners on display and wreaths and personal tributes from Adolf Hitler and Reichsmarschall, Hermann Goring. Deterding was an honored associate and supporter of Hitler and a personal friend of Goring.
Deterding was the guest of Hitler during a four day summit meeting at Berchtesgaden. Sir Henri and Hitler both had ambitions on Russian oil fields. Only an honored personal guest would be rewarded with a private four day meeting at Hitler’s mountain top retreat.
