One thought on “BP out of Alaska?

  1. I read that news as BP selling off petroleum leases rather than selling the pipeline operations. If they do sell leases it will be easiest to sell to the smallest lease holder in the area; otherwise whoever they sell to will have to dispose of some of their leases to comply with rules limiting a single entity’s number of leases. Such rules were meant to prevent domination by another Standard Oil.
