NEW ORLEANS─The Obama administration has temporarily blocked BP PLC from obtaining new contracts with the U.S. government, citing a 'lack of business integrity' that resulted in the Deepwater Horizon explosion and oil spill in 2010.
美国政府下令暂时禁止英国石油公司(BP PLC)从美国政府获得新的合同,理由是英国石油公司缺乏商业信誉。美国政府认为,这种信誉缺失也是引发2010年“深水地平线号(Deepwater Horizon)钻井平台爆炸和溢油事故的原因。
But the public reprimand won't affect BP's existing operations and oil leases in the Gulf of Mexico, the company said, adding that it expects the suspension to be lifted soon.
但英国石油公司说,这项公开的惩戒不会影响该公司现有的经营活动和在墨西哥湾租赁油气勘探区块。它还说,预计这一限制将很快被解除。
The Environmental Protection Agency imposed the suspension in the wake of a $4.5 billion settlement of all criminal and some civil charges that BP entered into with the Justice Department earlier this month. The charges included a misdemeanor violation of the Clean Water Act.
这项禁令是由美国环境保护署(U.S. Environmental Protection Agency)实施的。本月早些时候,英国石油公司花45亿美元了结了美国司法部针对该公司的所有刑事和一部分民事指控。英国石油公司受到的指控包括违反《净水法》(Clean Water Act)这一较轻罪名。
