BP declared victory July 18 in its weeklong battle to raise the US1-bil Thunder Horse semisubmersible production platform,announcing that five days of pumping water from the listing 4Sstory structure had snapped it upright again from the 20-degree tilt of Juiy 11.Now focused on making sure the pioneering unit is storm safe as hurricane season gets under way in earnest in die Gulf of Mexico,BP said it still has not determined the cause of the problem and cannot yet offer a new schedule for first production from Thunder Horse,which had been expected by the end of this year.
