BP Bets Big on Oil with $5B Gulf of Mexico Deepwater Platform
BP approved a $5 billion investment for the Tiber-Guadalupe deepwater oil project in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico, targeting first production by 2030. The new platform will handle about 80,000 barrels per day and tap an estimated 350 million barrels of recoverable resources. BP aims to boost Gulf output above 400,000 barrels oil-equivalent per day by 2030. Environmental groups criticized the move as a setback for climate goals.
