  • What happened to Bahamas Petroleum Company?
  • Bahamas Petroleum Company (BPC) has failed to find commercially viable reserves in Bahamian waters despite starting oil exploration last December. An exploratory well the company drilled between Dec. 20 and Feb. 7, about 240 kilometers (150 miles) from the Florida coast, will now be sealed and abandoned.
  • Which oil companies operate in the Bahamas?
  • British oil major BP and British-Dutch Shell are among the oil companies that operate in the Bahamas. BPC, a company of only six employees, has also been operating in the Bahamas but, due to a setback, has recently started seeking opportunities elsewhere.
  • What is the Bahamian Petroleum Company (BPC)?
  • The Bahamian Petroleum Company (BPC) is a company that has been seeking offshore oil deposits in Bahamian waters for over a decade. It has invested more than $110 million into the project. BPC's efforts culminated in the Bahamian government issuing environmental authorization for its exploratory oil drilling last year.
  • Has BPC stopped drilling in Bahamian waters?
  • An exploratory well drilled by BPC between Dec. 20 and Feb. 7, about 240 kilometers (150 miles) from the Florida coast, will now be sealed and abandoned. It is not clear if BPC has stopped its drilling activities for good. Activists are calling for a permanent ban on oil drilling in Bahamian waters.
  • Is offshore drilling in the Bahamas dangerous?
  • Offshore drilling in the Bahamas is considered dangerous according to Diane Hoskins, campaign director for the marine conservation NGO Oceana: "It's dangerous for both the country’s tourism-driven economy and its pristine waters". She hopes the Bahamian government will take this as a sign to halt the drilling efforts.
