Is BP to blame for the gulf oil spill?
The accident investigations are still ongoing. However, BP was ultimately in charge of the drilling of the well, so it bears primary responsibility. BP has never denied that they were at fault, but has also said that others, primarily the owner of the drilling rig, Transocean, also made judgment errors which contributed to the accident.
How do you conserve water and oil?
First step, get BP out of the oil drilling business.
What year was the BP Gulf oil well drilled?
If I understood this correctly the platform that blew up was a drilling platform and it was just drilling and not producing. It seems that there are two types. One is for drilling only and the other is for production. So, this means it was still being drilled. Right now there are 33 producing platforms in the Gulf and several drilling ones. BP is planning a new drilling platform in the Arctic that is 2 miles below and then will go 8 miles sideways. Makes you wonder why they have approval.
What could have happened if bp changed the drill?
I am not sure of your question. At the time of the accident, BP had finished drilling, and had cemented in the production casing in preparation for temporary abandonment.
