BP spreads the blame in its internal report on Deepwater Horizon


Posted on Sep 08, 2010

BP Plc points the finger of responsibility for the Deepwater Horizon disaster at other companies as much as at itself in a company report released Wednesday. Though critical of its own workers, BP defended its well design—criticized by industry experts—in the 193-page document released on its website. It has already passed some blame to rig owner Transocean and cement contractor Halliburton in public hearings. The internal report attributes the causes of the “accident” to human error, engineering design, mechanical failures and team interfaces. The company faces ongoing investigations from the Justice Department, Coast Guard and BOEM (formerly MMS), as well as billions of dollars in liability and hundreds of lawsuits. The April 20 DH explosion killed 11 workers, injured 17 persons and triggered over 200 million gallons of oil that gushed into the Gulf of Mexico for nearly three months.
