U.S. Says $20.8 Billion BP Spill Settlement FinalizedWASHINGTON--The Obama administration said Monday it has finalized the terms of a record $20.8 billion dollar settlement with BP PLC over the 2010 Deepwater Horizon oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico.The announcement by top officials at the Justice, Commerce, Agriculture and Interior departments, along with the Environmental Protection Agency, puts the final touches on the biggest pollution penalty in U.S. history.A consent decree was filed in federal court in New Orleans Monday morning outlining the settlement terms.When the tentative terms of the deal were announced by the Justice Department in July, the company put the total price tag at $18.7 billion, while Justice Department officials said it was $20 billion. Monday's announcement resolves that discrepancy.Attorney General Loretta Lynch on Monday called the settlement "a strong and fitting response to the worst environmental disaster in U.S. history."She said BP "is receiving the punishment it deserves, while also providing critical compensation for the injuries it caused to the environment and the economy of the Gulf region."The settlement resolves all federal and state claims against BP for the accident.The Deepwater disaster, the largest oil spill in U.S. waters, killed 11 crew members and leaked millions of barrels of crude into the gulf, coating hundreds of miles of shoreline with oil.BP officials have said previously the agreement provides the company, and the Gulf region, "a path to closure," resolving the largest legal exposure and providing more certainty in terms of costs and payments.

Hopefully it will not be a case of sell the story.

Is that the shakedown over? Perhaps they want to concentrate on VW now.

Any thoughts ukx breaking 6300 guys? I'm getting ready with a little short me thinks. BP on the march I'm expecting a retrace after such a good run

So this share price rise is due to Syria & the Russians

..there's also the little matter of the gap from 333 to 340 on the first of the month.

Five Up days in a row. How often does it do six?

[badtime] 05/10/2015 12:55

Let a few more go at 364

[supermarky] 05/10/2015 12:49

Things have already been messy. Might have a little retrace but I'm staying long

[mbthedude] 05/10/2015 12:00

Sitting on a nice little profit at the moment but not convinced this isn't just a temporary bounce up before things get messy. BP is mostly a FTSE tracker at the moment so good days its up and bad days it's down

[con reversal] 05/10/2015 11:57

Back to 340p?

[smurfy2001] 05/10/2015 11:44

Looking good, imagine if oil was at $70 instead of $49.

[optomistic] 05/10/2015 10:33

That must mean extra care. LOL
