Wade, I tried the link and it wouldn’t take me directly to the article. What I did was shorten the link to [http://www.worldoil.com](http://www.worldoil.com) then went to their site and clicked on “News” at the top and then “Latest News”. That took me to the article.

People sure sling $10 billion around mighty easily…

And the winner seems to be… BP.

They outbid Shell and Chevron (and some private equity players).
