A newspaper says it has obtained an internal audit conducted by BP PLC on the Deepwater Horizon oil rig that details severe safety flaws months before the Gulf of Mexico spill.
Comment: Was this a planned leak? If so, how does this strengthen BP’s legal position? The DWH had deficiencies (bad for Transoocean), but BP knew about the deficiencies and didn’t ensure that they were corrected (worse for BP?). As indicated by the poster below (More “Mike Talk”), the poor working relationship between the operator and contractor may have been the real core problem.
