BP Seeks to Resume Drilling in Gulf of Mexico

[webby]

BP is pursuing permits to resume drilling in the Gulf of Mexico this summer, some 15 months after one of its wells there exploded, killing 11 workers and setting off the worst offshore oil spill in U.S. history.
BP is seeking permission to drill 10 development wells that had been under way when the moratorium on deep-water drilling imposed by the Obama administration in the aftermath of the Deepwater Horizon explosion forced their suspension, a person familiar with the matter said. The company is waiting for final sign-off by the U.S. authorities, and hopes to restart the wells
