Chapter 18 in BP and the Macondo Spill, 2011, pp 160-164 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract BP was hardly alone in the Deepwater Horizon spill. Anadarko Petroleum and Mitsui Oil Exploration Company are 25% and 10% minority owners of the well, respectively. Transocean, the world’s largest offshore drilling contractor, even before it swallowed up the next largest competitor a few years earlier, owned and operated the platform that exploded, and most of the employees on the rig on April 20 worked for Transocean. Halliburton, the world’s second largest oil services firm, performed the cement job, and Cameron International had built a blowout preventer that had been since maintained and overhauled by yet other contractors.
