BP has published its internal investigation team's report into the accident on the Deepwater Horizon rig in the Gulf of Mexico on April 20, 2010. The investigation found that no single factor caused the Macondo well tragedy. Rather, a sequence of failures involving a number of different parties led to the explosion and fire which killed 11 people and caused widespread pollution in the Gulf of Mexico earlier this year.
The report is based on a four-month investigation led by Mark Bly, BP’s Head of Safety and Operations, and conducted independently by a team of over 50 technical and other specialists drawn from inside BP and externally.
Based on its key findings, the investigation team has proposed a total of 25 recommendations designed to prevent a recurrence of such an accident. The recommendations are directed at strengthening assurance on blow-out preventers, well control, pressure-testing for well integrity, emergency systems, cement testing, rig audit and verification, and personnel competence.
The BP internal investigation report and related material are available on the BP website at BP Internal Investigation.
