BP Oil Spill

The BP oil spill, also known as the Deepwater Horizon spill, occurred in late April 2010 when a oil well exploded in the Gulf of Mexico and killed 11 people. The disastrous spill gushed millions of gallons of oil into the Gulf and is considered an environmental catastrophe and one of the worst offshore oil spills in U.S. history.

Asked by Wiki User

Clearly it means, "No more profits or monies to be gained by the Oil or Gas well", or B.P. would have shut the oil well down instead of letting it leak almost 2 Million Gallons of Oil to Leak into the Ocean.

How did the oil rig explode in the gulf of Mexico?

An uncontrolled release of hydrocarbons ignited on the drill floor. Primary well control was provided by the completion fluid, but this was being changed out during normal testing operations. Primary well control was then the cement job on the liner which was woefully inadequate in design (BP US) and execution (Halliburton). With no primary well control, then the rig relied on secondary well control, the blowout preventer (Transocean). This also failed. Due to the explosion, damage and loss of the Deepwater Horizon there was no way to recover control. Therefore, tertiary well control was implemented; drilling a relief well into the toe of the uncontrolled well and killing it from the bottom.
