BP – Transocean Dispute Heats Up
September 9, 2010 by offshoreenergy
Transocean slams the BP Macondo report:
However, rig owner Transocean slammed the report, saying: “This is a self-serving report that attempts to conceal the critical factor that set the stage for the Macondo incident: BP’s fatally-flawed well design.”
BOE Comment: At a time when the safety of oil and gas operations is rightfully under intense scrutiny, this ugly dispute further undermines public confidence in offshore exploration and development. BP, Transocean, Halliburton, Cameron, and other feuding companies need to resolve their disputes so they can fully and credibly participate in the critical industry and governmental programs that are addressing offshore safety and pollution prevention issues.

Been out of town and unable to comment in this. If the political agendas behind those government investigations weren’t all about looking for somebody to blame – then maybe the companies involved would be more forthcoming. As it is now – they are literally forced to “circle the wagons”.
