Gulf Rig Owner Condemns Halt Placed on Drilling by Obama
Gulf Rig Owner Condemns Halt Placed on Drilling by Obama

The proprietor of the drilling rig that is concerned in the massive oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico condemned the U. S. Government's six-month ban on deepwater drilling in the area on Tuesday.

On the sidelines of oil discussion in London, Transocean Ltd. President, Steven Newman said that there were things President Barack Obama's management could put into practice today that would permit the industry to go back to their job tomorrow without a random six-month time restriction.

Transocean owns the Deepwater Horizon rig, which was run by British oil Company, BP PLC. An April 20 blast on the rig killed 11 workers and set off the worst offshore oil spill in the history of the Unites States of America.

The condemnation came a day after a federal judge in New Orleans started to think over lifting the suspension, which the Obama management imposed after the disaster started, and the administrator of a $20 billion fund to recompense oil spill victims pledged to speed imbursement of claims.

During Monday's two-hour trial, Plaintiffs' Attorney, Carl Rosenblum said the six-month deferral of drilling work might prove more inexpensively shocking than the spill itself.

This is an unparalleled industry wide shutdown. Never prior to this has the Government done such a thing.
