Oil Companies Criticized for Disaster Plans Similar to BP (NYSE: BP) : American Consumer News

CEO of Exxon Rex Tillerson stated investigators need to determine whether BP took risks outside of the normal protocol which ultimately led to the oil spill crisis. The CEOs of Exxon, CononcoPhillips, Chevron, and Royal Dutch Shell Plc testified after the committee released internal documents from BP which is said to show the company put cost ahead of safety in the days before the incident.

In a letter written to Tony Hayward, CEO of BP by Stupak and Democratic Representative Henry Waxman of California, it was stated that BP made five questionable decisions to cut costs and speed up the project completion before the disaster occurred. Hayward is set to appear June 17 before a subcommittee which will be his first testimony since the oil well explosion.
