Oil company BP, after being under investigation and close watch, due to their involvement in the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico is now passing blame onto their contractors, Haliburton and Transocean. On April 20th, there was a deadly explosion that killed eleven workers, that led to this. There were three main problems,a pressure test that was misread, unstable cement and an, " improperly maintained blowout preventer". After the recorded findings, both company's starting pointing fingers at each other. BP claiming the problems stem from, "poor human judgments, engineering design and mechanical failure".While Haliburton goes on record stating that the problem is within BP's well design. Until greater evidence surfaces with more thorough investigations, BP and its contractors will be at an uphill race to determine who will take claim for the biggest oil spill in U.S history.
After reading about the oil spill and the grave danger it caused, now is not the time to be, "pointing fingers" at one another. BP at one time was taking full responsibility for the spill and tragedy, they even had tv commercials stating this. BP then takes back full responsibility and blames the problems on their contractors, Haliburton and Transocean, who have more valid and concrete facts than BP. Both contractors have documentations stating they have told BP about their many problems and what should get fixed. BP has reputable knowledge about the matter, even though most of their workers are all, pleading the fifth amendment. Emails surfaced containing jokes about the, "death well", and the "nightmare" as it was so commonly refereed to. Bp needs to take action and instead of passing blame to the next parties, and figure out a way so this never happens again.
