		</div><p>Supreme Court will not hear appeals from energy giants BP and Anadarko Petroleum over the 2010 Gulf of Mexico oil spill.</p>
<p>Justices let stand a lower court ruling that said the owners of the blown-out Macondo well could not avoid federal fines for the spill by blaming another company’s failed equipment.</p>
<p>The firms argued that the oil had not leaked from the well itself, but from the broken underwater pipe that connected the well to the rig owned by Transocean, a top drilling contractor.</p>
<p>That riser was ripped apart when the burning rig sank. The companies had argued that the rig’s owners should be the only companies to pay.</p>
<p>A district judge and a federal appeals court rejected that argument.</p>
<p>The Deepwater Horizon drilling rig explosion and spill on April 20 2010 resulted in as much as 172 million gallons of oil getting into the Gulf of Mexico.</p>
