BP confirms Bob Dudley in key Gulf clean-up role (AP)

June 23rd, 2010

FILE - In this Thursday, May 6, 2010 picture, Robert Dudley, executive vice president for the Americas and Asia for British Petroleum, speaks during a luncheon at the Boston College's Chief Executivesâ?? Club of Boston. BP's chairman Carl-Henric Svanberg said Friday, June 18, 2010 that CEO Tony Hayward is on his way out as the company's point man on the Gulf oil spill crisis, a day after Hayward enraged members of Congress by offering few answers about how the environmental disaster happened. It was unclear when the switch will occur. Svanberg told Britain's Sky News television on Friday that Hayward 'is now handing over the operations, the daily operations to (BP Managing Director) Bob Dudley.' BP had said this month that Dudley would take over the long-term response to the spill once the leak was stopped, but millions of gallons continue to spew and that milestone remains months away. (AP Photo/Steven Senne)AP - BP PLC on Wednesday confirmed that Bob Dudley is now in charge of efforts to clean up the damage caused by the Gulf of Mexico oil spill, replacing Chief Executive Tony Hayward, who has been heavily criticized for his handling of the incident.
