BP announced that it has spent or committed to spend about 350 million dollars, so far. (see links) It is too early to know the final cost of clean up and effects on its exploratory drilling plans.

The causes of the accident are being investigated. It appears from BP's internal investigation and other reports that BP made wrong decisions which contributed to the accident.

The rig is owned by Transocean. BP employed Transocean to drill the well.
