BP has just been fined $5.2 million for submitting "false, inaccurate and misleading reports on energy production on Southern Ute Tribal Lands in SW Colorado, the Department of Interior said.
Tribal auditors and the Management Bureau found that BP reported "incorrect royalty rates and prices for royalty putposes" and incorrectly reported well production on leases, the Interior Department said, leading Ocean Energy Management bureau's director, Michael Bromwich, to conclude that "BP's continued submission of erroneous reports was knowing or willful."
The errors were reported to BP, but they were not corrected.
