British Petroleum, BP, announced Monday that the ongoing oil leak in the US Gulf of Mexico has cost the company an estimated $3.5 bn. The company’s estimate of damage related costs include “the cost of the spill response, containment, relief well drilling, grants to the Gulf states, claims paid, and federal costs,” according to a report by AFP.
The April explosion of an oil rig off the coast of the state of Louisiana unleashed a gush of oil that BP is currently working to contain. The company began on Saturday installation of a sealant cap to cease the flow of oil.
The company estimates that nearly 750,000 barrels of oil had been collected or flared by containment systems, the report added.
