Moving Forward

Very glad to know that Tony Hayward has allowed himself to heal from the terrible tragedy that happened to him.

Mr Hayward was speaking the day after part of his 2011 video deposition on the Gulf of Mexico disaster was screened in a New Orleans court, where BP is facing trial for the accident. Mr Hayward resigned as BP chief executive after facing criticism for his handling of the spill.

He said he was “not really” keeping an eye on the proceedings, adding: “For me it’s the past. I have no role to play.”

His role at BP had not been an issue when seeking exploration access for Genel and was raised “only ever in a positive way”.

"Positive ways" in which Hayward's role at BP could be raised: "It blew up real good, didn't it?" "Before this, nobody knew how magical microbes could be!" "The boys who sell us Corexit say business has never been better!"
