Weatherford International Plc, a supplier to BP Plc (BP/) at the Macondo well in the Gulf of Mexico, said the judge presiding over a court case to decide liability for 2010’s oil spill dismissed all claims against the company.
“There is no evidence that the Weatherford float collar used in the production string of the Macondo Well was defective and/or that any actions or inactions by Weatherford caused or contributed to the cause of the blowout and oil spill,” U.S. District Court Judge Carl Barbier said in a ruling.
Weatherford reached a settlement with BP in June on claims between the companies arising from the spill.
