    This case is about the safety problems faced by BP, the third-largest oil and gas producer in the world.

The investment required runs into billions of dollars. The oil prices are also quite volatile and the industry also faces high geo-political risk. Taking these factors into consideration the entry barriers are quite high. In India the administered price mechanism (APM) and licensing policies makes doing business all the more difficult.
