US-OIL-ENVIRONMENT-POLLUTION-BP
This still image from a live BP video feed shows robots working to replace the cap on a gushing well in the Gulf of Mexico during the early hour of July 12, 2010. BP said Monday the disastrous oil leak in the Gulf of Mexico has cost 3.5 billion dollars (2.78 billion euros), but the petroleum giant's shares rose sharply on reports it was on the verge of selling some assets.Engineers battled Monday to cap the damaged well which has been spewing oil into the Gulf of Mexico since it exploded in April, killing 11 workers and triggering the worst environmental disaster in US history.The beleaguered British-based oil company said the latest operation to seal the massive leak, which began on Saturday, was "proceeding as planned".AFP PHOTO / BP / HANDOUT == RESTRICTED TO EDITORIAL USE - NOT FOR SALE FOR MARKETING OR ADVERTISING CAMPAIGN ==
