Subject: RE: BS: off shore oil rig spill and more
I wish to apologise for mis-identifying the driller, tool push and their crew as members of BP; they were Transocean employees on contract to BP.
Two of those who died were employees of M-I-SWACO, a company that "manages risks of fluids-related issues, safeguards completion, and the formation, minimizes production-related problems, manages oilfield waste, and works with deepwater solutions."
The report by BP will be interesting; undoubtedly it will be an excellent description of a regrettable accident in which none of their procedures was at fault. The testimony of survivors will play part in future actions by the government and legal procedures.
