BP supervisor's defense: I didn’t see Halliburton’s warning

Halliburton technical advisor Jesse Gagliano warned BP in an April 18 document that its plan to use only six centralizers instead of the recommended 21 was risky and could result in a “SEVERE” gas flow problem from the Macondo well. Gagliano also said he personally talked about the risk to BP employees. Centralizers are doughnut shaped devices that go around the pipe to keep it from hitting the outer wall.

But BP’s Houston based supervisor John Guide said he was not aware of the document.

“It was never brought to my attention during the whole time I was involved in the (Deepwater) Horizon,” Guide said.
