Thunder and hurricanes don’t mix. That’s the message from the Gulf of Mexico after Hurricane Dennis proved a thorough menace to BP, battering the oil giant’s flagship deep-water platform, the vaingloriously named Thunder Horse. The world’s largest semisubmersible rig, which cost more than $1bn (£568m), was left listing by up to 30 degrees after the storm swept over it on the way to the US mainland. BP’s shares dipped 2.3 per cent on the news.
