SPAIN : In
Amenas
Situation
Update
BP today gave a further update
on the situation following the
terrorist attack on the In Amenas
joint venture gas facility in Algeria
on Wednesday 16 January.
As previously reported, 14 of the 18
BP employees who were at the In
Amenas site at the time of the
attack have been confirmed safe.
They have all now left Algeria.
BP is in close contact with the
families   of    the    other   four
employees, offering support and
assistance. Respecting the families’
wishes, we do not currently intend
to release information on the
identities    of     these    staff.
Bob Dudley, group chief executive, said:
“We have been gravely concerned for
these colleagues and feared one or
more fatalities among their number. It is
with great sadness that I now have to
say that we fear the worst for them all.
We are doing all we can to support their
families and ask everyone to show them
consideration and to respect their
privacy.”
BP offices around the world are
holding a minute’s silence
tomorrow, Wednesday, one week
on from the terrorist attack, as a
mark of respect for all of those
who lost their lives at In Amenas.
“The terrible events of last week have
affected every one of us at BP deeply.
Many of us have friends and
colleagues, both in BP and in other
companies, who have worked at In
Amenas or in similar facilities. We are all
thinking of our missing colleagues, those
who endured the ordeal and their
loved ones,” said Dudley.
“We are mindful that many others – from
partners, contractors and other
companies – have died or remain
unaccounted for. Our thoughts are also
with their families, friends and loved ones
at this time.”
BP personnel have returned to
the In Amenas site to support
efforts to gather confirmed
information.
In total, 43 BP staff from various
locations across Algeria have left
the country over the past few days.
BP is offering them assistance as
required including medical, HR and
practical help.
BP emergency response teams
in both Algeria and the UK are
still managing the company’s
response to the incident.
Notes:

• In Amenas is a joint venture gas project,
  owned and managed by a joint venture
  consisting of the Algerian state oil and gas
  company Sonatrach, Statoil and BP. It is
  located in the eastern central region of
  Algeria, about 60 km west of the Libyan
  border. Citizens of more than 25 countries
  work at In Amenas.
• It is a large operation with a significant
  workforce. At any one time there might be a
  workforce of 500-700 on the In Amenas site.
  The great majority of these are Algerian
  nationals working directly for the joint
  venture, and for Sonatrach and contracting
  companies. They are supported by a smaller
  international workforce, again from
  contractors but also from BP and Statoil.
• BP remains committed to
  operating in Algeria where it
  has high quality assets and
  has been present for over 60
  years.
