Here’s your chance to get a look inside the funding of BP’s Gulf Oil Spill response.

Anadarko is a 25% owner of the Deepwater Horizon well — the one that exploded and caused the Gulf Oil spill. And they’re now in a big dispute with the majority owner, BP, over whether Anadarko has to pay for 25% of the damages and costs related to the spill.

We’ve obtained a copy of the fairly detailed $272 million invoice BP sent to Anadarko for spill related expenses expenses for the first month or so after the blow out.

You can see itemized just what BP is spending on. Rachel Slajda has the story.
