bp's liability is great and will exceed 20 billion
a few things;
they still have to pay a fine for oil lost
pay for businesses that lost money
pay for jobs lost
(including collateral losses)
the results of this disaster will last for more than 20 years
the value of bp has declined steadily (stock losses and other potential losses such as the us refusing to continue contracts with bp)
a lot of bad press
other governments requiring stronger oversight and more money set aside in escrow accounts against future possible spills
