Anadarko Petroleum Corp. (APC) said Wednesday the company has
received a bill from BP PLC (BP) for costs associated with cleaning
the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico but added it wasn't involved in
negotiations for an escrow account to help pay for its long-term
damages.
Anadarko Spokesman John Christiansen told Dow Jones Newswires in
an email statement that the company has been invoiced by BP and
that the company is "reviewing it." The company wouldn't say how
much it is being asked to pay.
The Houston-based company said BP hasn't contacted it regarding
the establishment of the $20 billion escrow account the oil giant
agreed Wednesday to fund.
"We were not involved in the negotiations," Christiansen
said.
Anadarko has a 25% in BP Macondo's well, which has been spewing
massive amounts of oil into the Gulf after Transocean Ltd's (RIG)
rig, leased by BP, exploded and sank in April.
