The Deepwater Horizon explosion was primarily caused by a failure in risk management and safety procedures during the drilling of the Macondo well. Key factors included the inadequate cementing of the well, which allowed gas to escape, and the malfunction of the blowout preventer, a safety device meant to contain sudden pressure surges. These failures, combined with poor decision-making and a lack of effective oversight, ultimately led to the catastrophic blowout and explosion on April 20, 2010.
