BP investigation of Gulf of Mexico oil spill finds several areas of fault

BP's internal investigation of the Deepwater Horizon oil rig disaster pins some of the blame on the company for mistakes made when finishing the oil well, including misreading pressure data that indicated a blowout was imminent, according to a person familiar with the report.

View full sizeThe Deepwater Horizon oil rig burns and collapses into the Gulf of Mexico on April 22, 2010.

BP managers aboard the Transocean-owned rig misinterpreted a test of the Macondo well's stability in April, deciding the test confirmed the well was in good shape, said the person, who spoke on condition of anonymity because the report's findings haven't been publicly released.

That positive interpretation of the test data cleared the way for rig workers to begin replacing drilling fluid in the well, which is heavier than oil and natural gas, with seawater.
The seawater was too light to prevent natural gas that had begun leaking into the well from shooting up the pipe to the rig, where it exploded and killed 11 workers. The damaged well eventually spewed more than 4 million barrels of crude into the sea, enough to fill two supertankers.
"The entire industry should not be blamed for the actions of one single individual," John Hofmeister, chief executive officer of Citizens for Affordable Energy and a former Royal Dutch Shell executive, said in an interview with Peter Cook Monday on Bloomberg Television's "Inside Track."
A federal investigative panel composed of U.S. Coast Guard officers and Interior Department regulators has focused on how BP employees aboard the rig and in Houston failed to detect signals that the well was about to erupt.
The probe also has questioned why BP engineer John Guide, the team leader overseeing the project, disregarded warnings of a potential blowout from contractor Halliburton, and why rig-based managers neglected to test for flaws in the cement outside the well intended to prevent explosive natural gas from seeping up to the rig.
Attorneys representing BP before the panel have sought to assign some of the blame for the catastrophe to Transocean and Halliburton, which mixed and poured the cement. Employees of Transocean, based in Geneva, and Halliburton, based in Houston, have told the panel they were following BP's designs and directives.
Hung Nguyen, co-chairman of the panel, criticized BP last week for a convoluted management structure that has made it difficult to discern who was responsible for the well. Panel member Jason Mathews said five of the 12 BP managers assigned to the $140 million well had been in their jobs for six months or less.
The U.S. Justice Department and several congressional committees also are conducting probes of the disaster, which sank the $365 million rig, closed thousands of square miles to fishing for months, and halted deepwater oil exploration in the Gulf of Mexico. Under an agreement brokered with the Obama administration, BP agreed to set aside $20 billion to cover claims and damages.
The 200-page report was compiled by a team of BP investigators led by Mark Bly, the London-based company's head of safety and operations. The report concluded BP bears at least partial responsibility for the incident that led to the largest oil spill in U.S. history, the person said. Bly's team also found that Transocean shares the blame, the person said.
BP intends to announce the findings of its internal probe in the next 10 days, the person said. Scott Dean, a U.S.-based spokesman for BP, declined to comment on the report's contents. Guy Cantwell, a spokesman for Transocean, said he wasn't immediately able to comment.
