Energy for the future – finding the right direction


Speaker: Steve Westwell, executive vice president, strategy and integration
Venue: Science and technology in society forum, Kyoto, Japan


Good morning and thank you for the invitation to join today’s discussion. I want to begin by referring to the Deepwater Horizon tragedy in the Gulf of Mexico.

BP deeply regrets the loss of life and the impact of the spill. We have stepped up to our responsibilities. Working alongside local communities and government and industry partners, we have mobilized a crisis response on an unprecedented scale. At the peak of the effort, we mobilised over 45,000 people, deployed 3 million feet of protective boom and co-ordinated around 7,000 vessels.
