BP delays major oil project in the Gulf of Mexico:
BP has said it will be delaying Mad Dog Phase 2 oil project in the Gulf of Mexico as rising costs make current development plans difficult to justify.

The British oil and gas major is now evaluating how to develop the project.
“BP fully intends to develop the resources at Mad Dog Phase 2 and is committed to moving forward with the right plan,” it said. “It is too early to speculate when the details of the final plan will be approved by BP and its co-owners.”
The Mad Dog oilfield is one of BP’s flagship developments in the Gulf of Mexico.
