Chapter 19 in BP and the Macondo Spill, 2011, pp 165-173 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract The BP spill was not the first deepwater blowout in history. However, it produced the largest daily flow, had the greatest sense of immediacy, commanded the most resources in its solution, and was, by far, the most visible of any similar spill. As a consequence, it demanded the most of the engineers who would be responsible for stopping the flow.
