April 2010 Gulf of Mexico Oil Spill – Halliburton Settlement
Halliburton agreed to pay $1.1 billion to settle many civil class-action claims arising from the April 2010 Deepwater Horizon oil rig blowout and oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. Halliburton was accused of doing defective cementing work on the well and trying to hide its responsibility. The agreement resolved both punitive and compensatory liability in lawsuits filed by private plaintiffs and local governments. In June 2016, it was announced that Halliburton agreed to pay $1.03 billion in a separate settlement of punitive damage claims.
