Tests that were performed before the deadly blow out of BP’s oil well in the Gulf of Mexico should have raised questions about the cement used to seal the well,but the company and its cementing contractor used it anyway, Investigators with the president’s oil spill commission said on Thursday that the cement was unstable.
The commission was formed on May 22, 2010 by President Obama.It’s the first finding from the commission looking into the causes of the April 20 explosion that killed 11workers and led to the worst off shore oil spill in U.S. history. Halliburton Company made conflicting statements they said its tests showed the cement mix was stable. The company instead has said BP’s well design and operations were responsible for the disaster.
Yesterday BP released their on internal investigation into the catastrophe blaming Halliburton and Transocean for their bad cementing job and drilling over sight of their Ex CEO, Tony Hayward stating that a lot of things went wrong,most of which wasn’t their fault.
