UPDATE 2-Exporter-heavy FTSE 100 soars as BoE growth forecast cut hurts pound
London's FTSE 100 swiftly climbed to a session high as its international stocks got a lift from a hit to sterling after the Bank of England cut its economic growth forecast, adding on to earlier cheer that was brought on by the Fed's softer stance. The FTSE 100 index was up 0.7% with BP and Shell both up more than 1% after Middle East tensions drove crude prices higher, while the FTSE midcap index was up 1% at its highest in a month by 1154 GMT.

BP rig reaches North Sea oilfield after Greenpeace protest delays
A BP drilling rig reached its destination in the North Sea on Wednesday after 11 days of delays due to Greenpeace protests over climate change, the activist group said. The 40,000 tonne Paul Loyd JNR left Cromarty Firth, north of Inverness, Scotland last Friday, after being held for six days by activists who had climbed and camped out on one of its legs. Once at sea, the rig and its support vessels were forced to turn away three times after Greenpeace's Arctic Sunrise ship prevented it from reaching the Vorlich oilfield to start its drilling campaign.

Okea sees foreign oil majors leaving Norway's offshore in a decade
Norwegian oil firm Okea predicts all oil majors, except Norway's Equinor, will leave the Norwegian continental shelf in 10 years, opening up opportunities for smaller, independent firms, its chief executive said on Tuesday. The British and Norwegian sections of the North Sea, where production started in the 1960s and 1970s, have seen an exodus of oil majors as some fields mature or dry up and as they focus on larger offshore developments elsewhere.

A BP drilling rig heading to an oilfield in the British North Sea has been forced to turn away twice over the past two days as a Greenpeace vessel protesting climate change tries to hamper its progress.

Senegal police detain protesters amid outcry over gas deal
Senegalese riot police fired tear gas and detained more than 20 people on Friday at an unsanctioned protest in Dakar over a BBC report of allegations the president's brother was involved in fraud related to two offshore gas blocks developed by BP PLC. Prosecutors have said they will open an investigation following the publication of the BBC report earlier in June.

UPDATE 4-Pope backs carbon pricing to stem global warming and appeals to deniers
Pope Francis said on Friday that carbon pricing is "essential" to stem global warming - his clearest statement yet in support of penalising polluters - and appealed to climate change deniers to listen to science. In an address to energy executives at the end of a two-day meeting, he also called for "open, transparent, science-based and standardised" reporting of climate risk and a "radical energy transition" away from carbon to save the planet. Carbon pricing, via taxes or emissions trading schemes, is used by many governments to make energy consumers pay for the costs of using the fossil fuels that contribute to global warming, and to spur investment in low-carbon technology.

More Greenpeace activists climb on BP drilling rig after arrests
Greenpeace activists climbed back on a drilling rig on Friday to keep it from heading to a BP oilfield in the British North Sea, hours after police removed protesters who had boarded the vessel days earlier. On Thursday night police removed and arrested two Greenpeace activists who had spent over 70 hours blocking the rig from leaving Cromarty Firth, north of Inverness, Scotland, Greenpeace said in a statement. "We can’t give up and let oil giants carry on with business as usual because that means giving up on a habitable planet and our kids’ future," said Greenpeace UK’s executive director, John Sauven.
