NEW ORLEANS (AP) — The BP executive who led the company’s probe of the Deepwater Horizon rig explosion denied Monday that his investigators narrowly focused on rig workers’ actions to spare onshore engineers and managers from blame for the disaster.
At the start of the second week of a trial over the 2010 oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, a lawyer for rig owner Transocean Ltd. asked the BP executive, Mark Bly, why his team’s report doesn’t mention a call from BP rig supervisor Donald Vidrine to an onshore engineer less than an hour before the blast.
