Federal Contractor Misconduct Database (FCMD)
Deepwater Horizon Coast Guard/BOEMRE Investigation
A joint investigation team (JIT) consisting of the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, Regulation and Enforcement (BOEMRE) and the U.S. Coast Guard investigated the causes of the April 20, 2010, Deepwater Horizon explosion, loss of life, and resulting oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. The JIT concluded that the decisions and actions of BP, Transocean, and Halliburton violated federal safety regulations and caused a blowout at the Macondo well, which led to the explosion and sinking of the Deepwater Horizon rig. Of the more than 50 causes, contributing causes, and possible contributing causes of the disaster, Halliburton was found partially responsible for at least two. (See pp. 194-199 of volume 2 of the final report for a summary of the JIT’s findings.)
