Deepwater Horizon
• Deepwater Horizon was an oil drilling rig.
• It was operating in Macondo Prospect in the gulf of Mexico
• On April 20, 2010 it exploded and sank.
• It resulted in 11 deaths of the workers, and the largest spill of oil in
the history of marine oil operations.
• 4 million barrels of oil spilled from the rig in an well over 87-days
period, before it finally capped on July 15, 2010
• On December 15, 2010, the USA filed an complaint against BP
Exploration & Production and several other defendants to be
responsible for the spill.
What happened?
• On April 20, 2010, Deepwater Horizon, which were operated by
Transocean is set to begin drilling in Macondo Prospect on behalf of
the BP Exploration.
• They made them drill even though they weren’t 100% ready, and
didn’t think it was safe.
• The explosion was a failure in the cement at the base of the 18,000
feet-deep well that was supposed to keep oil and gas within the well
bore.
• That led to a lot of human and mechanical errors, which allowed gas
to continue up the pipe with an insane amount of pressure causing an
explosion and fire that killed 11 people of the 126 crew members
