U.S. District Judge Carl Barbier of the Eastern District of Louisiana agreed with U.S. Justice Department lawyers that BP plc (BP) should face paying up to $4,300 for each barrel of oil spilled. He previously ruled that 3.19 million barrels were discharged into the Gulf of Mexico after a rig explosion at BP’s Macondo well.
This means that BP is facing up to $13.7 billion in civil fines under the U.S. Clean Water Act for its role in the catastrophic Gulf of Mexico oil spill in 2010.
BP had argued that its maximum penalties should be an unadjusted $3,000 per barrel.
BP recently said on its financial results that the total cumulative pre-tax charge for Gulf of Mexico oil spill at end of 2014 was $43.5 billion.
Shares of BP closed at $41.19, down $0.56 (or -1.34%) on Thursday's trading session.
BP provides fuel for transportation, energy for heat and light, lubricants to engines, and petrochemicals products worldwide.
