英國油氣巨頭英國石油公司(BP)周四在一份聲明中表示，與墨西哥灣深水地平線石油泄漏事故有關的費用總數(shù)估計在616億美元。

周四早些時候，BP宣布，該公司可以估計出其與那次事故有關的所有剩余實質債務。

根據(jù)聲明，英國石油巨頭認為與石油泄漏有關的任何進一步索賠將幾乎不會對其財政業(yè)績產生重大影響。

BP要為美國歷史上壞的環(huán)境災難負責。BP的《深水地平線號》石油鉆機2010年4月在美國墨西哥灣爆炸，導致了11人喪命并使數(shù)百萬加侖的石油泄漏到了墨西哥灣。

BP's Expenses Related to Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill to Reach $61.6Bln

MEXICO CITY (Sputnik)/July 14, 2016

A total sum of oil and gas giant British Petroleum's (BP) expenses that are connected with the Deepwater Horizon oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico are estimated at $61.6 billion, company's press service said in a statement Thursday.

Earlier in the day, BP announced that it could estimate all of its remaining material liabilities in connection with the incident.

According to the statement, the oil giant believed that any further claims related to the oil spill would barely have a significant impact on its financial performance.

BP was responsible for one of the worst environmental disasters in US history when its Deepwater Horizon oil rig exploded in April 2010, killing 11 people and spilling millions of gallons of oil into the Gulf of Mexico.
