To avoid a long appeals process. After the 2010 Deepwater Horizon oil spill, BP dragged the legal process out for over five years.

And this dispute, while involving similar amounts of money, doesn't seem to have the same moral urgency to speed it along.

Completely different type of lawsuit, and in a completely different court. There is decades of precedence here. It takes doesn’t take long to decide these cases, and the appeals are quick. This will all be over before the end of the year.
