/IRBIS, September 9, 2010/ - The contractor Transocean, which belonged to the platform exploded Deepwater Horizon, accused BP that her well was "fundamentally flawed", said today the Air Force.

Transocean - the world's largest contractor work on drilling offshore; The Company is headquartered in Switzerland, and it operates around the world. According to its leadership, BP went to make savings in the development and drilling of wells, which significantly increased the possibility of an accident.

According to the BBC, these statements Transocean were a response to the publication of a report on the causes of the accident in the Gulf of Mexico, commissioned by BP.

According to the report's 193 pages long, cause fire, explosion and ensuing oil spill was "a series of errors of the various parties involved in the process." During the investigation, which became the basis for the report, said Mr. Mark Bly the head of security for BP.

At the time of the accident BP leased platform Deepwater Horizon, the company Transocean, and the cement work was done the American firm Halliburton. A report on the BP entrusted with part of the blame for the disaster in the Gulf of Mexico, but for most of the eight points of the responsibility rests entirely on Halliburton and Transocean.

The preparation of the document took more than four months since the accident at the well Macondo.

It is noted that the investigation of what happened in the Gulf of Mexico, in addition to BP itself, occupies a special commission under the President of the United States, the commission of the American Congress, and the U.S. Department of Justice together with the Coast Guard of the country.

The results of these investigations will be unveiled in the coming months. In contrast to the BP report, they will include data collected in the study of equipment, raised from the bottom of the Gulf of Mexico in early September.

It is pointed out that the report BP, posted on the website of the company, said: decisions, many companies and working teams, played a role in an emergency situation, which worsened as a result of "the complex, interrelated technical failure, human error, engineering solutions, operational execution of tasks and interaction commands.

In response, the report called Transocean BP document prepared "for their own benefit." Representative of the contractor said that with the help of the report BP tries to hide the key factor that led to the accident at the well Macondo - "fundamentally defective" for creating the holes ".

Company Halliburton, in turn, said that BP is present in the record number of "omissions and inaccuracies." Representatives of Halliburton confident that they have done well at BP's work consistent with requirements imposed by BP.

Air Force notes that the U.S. report, commissioned by BP, is not considered a reliable instrument, it is called rather PR move of the company, preparing for lengthy litigation over the compensation to victims of the accident and its consequences.

An influential member of the Senate Committee on Energy and Commerce, Ed Markey said in his report on the accident in the Gulf of Mexico, BP too hard pokes his finger at other companies. A Republician, Mr. Darrell Issa believes that the report "demonstrates the degree of negligence by BP, its partners, as well as regulators. And this negligence, according to Mr. Issa, "can only be described as shameful."
