Three months on, the consequences of the Deepwater Horizon disaster are becoming clearer. BP has a new leader – a quiet American who, as head of TNK-BP, a joint venture in Russia, has already held one of the world's toughest jobs. The company is emerging from weeks of crisis conscious that much still needs to be done to clean up the gulf, and its damaged reputation. But the value of its assets, likely to be confirmed by yesterday's announcement of $30bn (€23bn, £19bn) of planned disposals, suggests a company worth more than its depressed share price implies.
3個月過去了，深水地平線(Deepwater Horizon)災難的後果正變得日益清晰。英國石油(BP)迎來了一位新掌門——這位沉著冷靜的美國人，已擔負起全球最艱難的工作之一。他先前擔任英國石油在俄羅斯的合資企業TNK-BP總裁。英國石油正在擺脫持續了數週的危機，該公司意識到，在清理墨西哥灣的油汙和挽回受損的名譽方面，還有很多工作要做。但該公司資產的價值表明，BP的實際價值，要高於其低迷股價所反映出的水準。日前BP宣佈計劃出售300億美元的資產，或許證實了其資產的價值。
