BP Plc’s internal investigation of the fatal explosion and oil spill at its Gulf of Mexico Macondo well didn’t focus on whether management-system failures contributed to the disaster, an executive testified.
Officials asked to review the 2010 explosion on the Deepwater Horizon rig and subsequent oil spill focused on operational issues rather than systemic safety flaws as part of their six-month probe of the incident, Mark Bly, a BP executive who led the investigation, told a judge in New Orleans today.
