BP Amoco p.l.c., and Atlantic Richfield Company

The Commission authorized staff to file a motion in federal district court to prevent the merger of BP Amoco p.1.c. and Atlantic Richfield Company.

Under the terms of the order, BP Amoco was required to divest all of ARCO's assets relating to oil production on Alaska's North Slope (ANS) to Phillips Petroleum Company or another Commission-approved purchaser. BP Amoco also would have to divest all ARCO assets related to its Cushing, Oklahoma crude oil business within four months.
