BP issued a 193-page report Wednesday morning assigning blame and detailing the causes of the April 20 Horizon Deepwater oil rig explosion that killed 11 people and spilled nearly 5 million barrels of oil into the Gulf of Mexico.
The internal report, conducted by the company’s safety chief Mark Bly and a team of about 50 mostly BP employees, focuses the majority of blame on BP’s contractors, particularly Transocean and Halliburton.
Transocean owned the rig and Halliburton performed cement jobs on the well. Of the 126 people on the rig when the explosion occurred, 79 were Transocean employees.
The report accepts a few fault on the part of BP, admitting to “misreading pressure data that a blowout was imminent.”
