  • 19-1189 BP PLC V. Mayor and City Council of Baltimore
    (Slip Opinion) OCTOBER TERM, 2020 1 Syllabus NOTE: Where it is feasible, a syllabus (headnote) will be released, as is being done in connection with this case, at the time the opinion is issued. The syllabus constitutes no part of the opinion of the Court but has been prepared by the Reporter of Decisions for the convenience of the reader. See United States v. Detroit Timber & Lumber Co., 200 U. S. 321, 337. SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES Syllabus BP P. L. C. ET AL. v. MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL OF BALTIMORE CERTIORARI TO THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT No. 19–1189. Argued January 19, 2021—Decided May 17, 2021 Baltimore’s Mayor and City Council (collectively City) sued various en- ergy companies in Maryland state court alleging that the companies concealed the environmental impacts of the fossil fuels they promoted. The defendant companies removed the case to federal court invoking a number of grounds for federal jurisdiction, including the federal officer removal statute, 28 U. S. C. §1442. The City argued that none of the defendants’ various grounds for removal justified retaining federal ju- risdiction, and the district court agreed, issuing an order remanding the case back to state court. Although an order remanding a case to state court is ordinarily unreviewable on appeal, Congress has deter- mined that appellate review is available for those orders “remanding a case to the State court from which it was removed pursuant to section 1442 or 1443 of [Title 28].” §1447(d). The Fourth Circuit read this provision to authorize appellate review only for the part of a remand order deciding the §1442 or §1443 removal ground.

THE BP OIL SPILL SETTLEMENTS, CLASSWIDE PUNITIVE DAMAGES, AND SOCIETAL DETERRENCE Catherine M. Sharkey* INTRODUCTION In late 2012, BP p.l.c. (BP) funded the Court Supervised Settlement Program as part of a class action settlement of the consolidated mul- tidistrict litigation arising from the Deepwater Horizon oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. The BP settlement provided solely for compensatory damages to claimants. It left open the possibility that claimants eligi- ble for punitive damages could be certified as a class for litigation or settlement purposes against BP’s codefendants (but not BP) in the future. In 2014, Halliburton Company (Halliburton) (one of BP’s co- defendants) reached such a classwide punitive damages settlement.

    1 Hello and welcome everyone. This is BP’s fourth-quarter and full-year 2013 Results webcast and conference call. I’m Jessica Mitchell, BP’s Head of Investor Relations. I’m here with our Group Chief Executive Bob Dudley, and our Chief Financial Officer Brian Gilvary. Before we start, I need to draw your attention to our cautionary statement. 2 During today’s presentation, we will make forward-looking statements that refer to our estimates, plans and expectations. Actual results and outcomes could differ materially due to factors that we note on this slide and in our UK and SEC filings. Please refer to our Annual Report, Stock Exchange Announcement and SEC filings for more details. These documents are available on our website. Thank you, and now over to Bob. 3 Thank you Jess and welcome everyone, wherever you are in the world. Thanks for joining us today. 4 We’re here to look back at 2013. It was a busy year and also a successful one. We accomplished a number of important things. We improved our safety record. We had a very good year for exploration, in fact, our best in ten years. We started up a series of major new projects, both in the Upstream and the Downstream. In Russia, we created a new future for BP. And at the same time we released some of the considerable value we generated with our former joint venture, TNK-BP. A large part of that is currently being used for share buybacks. A good outcome all round. And we also announced some significant new investments for the future that we believe will create value for BP for decades to come.

  • Extracting Heavy Crude Oil from a Delicate Environment Presents Multiple Challenges for Perenco
    THE AMAZON RESPONSIBLE OIL PRODUCTION IN THE AMAZON Extracting heavy crude oil from a delicate environment presents multiple challenges for Perenco. Alfa Laval’s centrifuge technology helps ensure the operation is viable. TE X T: DAVID NIKEL PHOTO: PERENCO, GETTY 22 | here december 2015 / january 2016 an international magazine from alfa laval T H E A M A Z O Block 67, Peru N hen new oil fields were discovered deep within the Amazon rainforest in 2006, Peru’s then-President, Alan García, declared the find a “miracle” for the country’s economy. It was the first new Woil field put into production in Peru in 30 years. Nine years on, the real miracle is not the oil in the ground: it is the fact that oil can be extracted from this location at all. BLOCK 67 IS LOCATED in one of the most inaccessible parts of the world, let alone Peru. To reach the site, workers must take a 90-minute flight from the capital Lima to Iquitos, which lies at the swampy confluence of the Amazon, Nanay and Itaya rivers. The jungle metropolis of Iquitos is the largest city in the world that cannot be reached by road, but the journey to Block 67 is far from over.
