Oil giant BP's share price has been hit hard as the company fights to stem the flood of oil from its ruptured well in the Gulf of Mexico. Since the explosion on the Deepwater Horizon oil rig on 20 April, the company's shares have lost about 30% of their value.rnJust before the accident, shares were riding at a four-year high of 653 pence, but had fallen to 495p by the end of May as the situation worsened.
