BP TRIAL: Browne called to testify over refinery blast
Financial Times, 18 Sept. 2006

Plaintiffs’ lawyers who earlier agreed not to call Lord Browne, BP’s chief executive, to testify in the civil cases arising from last year’s fatal Texas refinery explosion, said they now intended to question the head of the UK oil group.
Mr Buzbee said he would ask Lord Browne about BP’s practices across the US, including Alaska, where the company had to shut half its oilfield because of severe corrosion, to determine whether the company has a pattern of neglect, underfunding and underinvestment. “There is a whole bevy of topics I want to bring up with Lord Browne,” Mr Buzbee said.
