It seems that everyone in America wants answers concerning how the Deepwater Horizon explosion in the Gulf of Mexico, which killed 11 maritime workers, could have happened. The United States Congress is no different.
On June 14, 2010, the Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations sent a letter to BP’s CEO Tony Hayward raising serious concerns over BP’s operations onboard the ill-fated oil rig. Congress has raised questions in regards to decisions that BP made in the days and hours before the explosion that took place.
According to the letter, BP’s drilling engineer referred to the well called Macondo as a “nightmare well.” The letter also alleges that BP may have made multiple decisions concerning the well, based on economic reasons.
Congress has accused BP of repeatedly choosing risky procedures in order to save time and money. This is in light of the fact that BP’s own personnel issued warnings to BP in regards to decisions being made that appear to have violated industry guidelines.
The letter also states that the Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations is looking into other crucial decisions BP may have made to expedite the completion of the project.
