A KEY federal report puts ultimate responsibility on BP for the worst offshore oil spill in US history and the deaths of 11 rig workers on April 20, 2010, especially regarding the cement seal that was put in place the day before the explosion in the Gulf of Mexico that triggered the spill.
The report, released yesterday, said in the days leading up to the disaster, BP made a series of decisions that complicated cementing operations, added risk, and may have contributed to the failure of the cement job.
Other companies also shared some blame, according to the report, which noted that rig owner Transocean, as owner of the Deepwater Horizon, was responsible for conducting safe operations.
The details were in the final report from an investigation team of the US Coast Guard and the agency that regulates offshore drilling.
"BP was responsible for conducting operations at Macondo in a way that ensured safety," the panel concluded.
