Anyone know who is buying BP's Tuscaloosa Trends upstream assets?

BP announced August 17 it was selling its Tuscaloosa Treend upstream assets.  They said the sale would be completed boy the end of this year.  I understand that they have divided it into the West Assets and the East Assets.  The East Assets include an area in East Baton Rouge Parish in the city of Central.  BP completed the Edwards #1 well in June of 2010 yet they have not perfed or tested.  Knowledgeable people say the well looks very good.  "Pay" in 3 sands according to logs.  Any info is appreciated.  Thanks.

They are selling off to pay for their mistakes in the Gulf.

Thanks.  I agree.  I was just trying to find out WHO is buying this asset?  The well should be a good well and the seismic work cost BP around $20-$30 million for this new area.  Word is it will have to be a big player to afford the projected price tag of $650 million just for the west assets alone.

Tuscaloosa Trend Sits On Top Of Poorest Neighbourhood For Decades - Yet No Royalties Ever Paid To The Community -- Why??

In researching the decades-old Tuscaloosa Trend and the immense wealth it has generated for many, I find it deeply troubling that this resource-rich formation runs directly beneath one of the poorest communities in North Baton Rouge—near Southern University, Louisiana—yet neither the university ( that I am aware of)  nor local residents appear to have received any compensation for the minerals extracted from their land.

This area has suffered immense environmental degradation…
