BP’s commitments

Determined to accelerate

and further deploy the

capabilities and practices

that enhance safety in our

company and the deepwater

industry

Committed to sharing our

learnings globally so an

accident of this magnitude

does not happen again Other regional industry associations are engaged as well

200+ meetings in over 30 countries

Investigation summary

Well integrity was not established or failed

• Annulus cement barrier did not isolate hydrocarbons

• Shoe track barriers did not isolate hydrocarbons

Hydrocarbons entered the well undetected and

well control was lost

• Negative pressure test was accepted although well integrity

had not been established

• Influx was not recognized until hydrocarbons were in riser

• Well control response actions failed to regain control of well

Hydrocarbons ignited on the Deepwater Horizon

• Diversion to mud gas separator resulted in gas venting onto rig

• Fire and gas system did not prevent hydrocarbon ignition

Blowout preventer did not seal the well

• Blowout preventer (BOP) emergency mode did not seal well

Relief Wells

Rapid intersect and bottom well kill

Deepwater Horizon experience

• Advances in Ranging Technology

• Relief well was final confirmation that well had been

killed

Going forward

• BP Pre-Spud Relief Well Planning Requirements:

• Two surface locations identified

• Suitable rig, equipment and materials identified

• Conceptual relief well design

- deep and shallow intersection points

- dynamic kill plan

Spill Response

Applying largest effort in history to advanced capabilities

Open-water

• Surface and subsea dispersant application

• Controlled in-situ burning

• Marine environment monitoring capabilities

Near-shore

• Vessels of Opportunity

- Engaging local knowledge

Onshore

• Systematic Shoreline Cleanup and Assessment Technique

assessment and cultural/archaeological data

• Waste Management

Crisis Management

Managing large-scale simultaneous marine and subsurface operations in a response

Large-scale response

• Complex, competing vessel operations near the

source

• Plan, prioritize and communicate vessel

and ROV operations

• Systematically apply existing marine standards

to assure safe operations

• Trust, engage vessel captains, crews

Unique experience, capability gained

• Applied experience and learning to daily

operations

• Transferring lessons into crisis planning globally

Determined to enhance deepwater safety

Continuing to enhance capabilities across critical capability areas

• Further standardizing the way we identify, quantify and review risks and execute

risk action plans

• Further enhancing well control and other drilling safety standards, practices and capabilities

• Continuing to ensure availability of response equipment and consumables in deepwater

basins where BP operates

• Sharing learnings and technology innovations to build global capabilities
