In the past few weeks we have seen a lot of discussions going on “BP Oil Spill” and BP have revealed that more new oil was produced in the Gulf of Mexico last year than any other region in the world, as the company seeks to persuade the US government that its giant spill should not halt deepwater drilling. "The world’s largest increase in oil production by far came from the US, mainly from the Gulf of Mexico. This is not an excuse for anything, but a piece of the reality in which we all live," said Tony Hayward, BP’s chief executive, in his introduction to the statistical review.
