BP Says Industry Is Better Prepared After Gulf Spill

BP Plc said the oil industry is better prepared to respond to a major offshore spill because of equipment and systems developed after the April 20 Deepwater Horizon rig disaster.
Innovations include equipment to cap a well that, after several misses and partial successes, stopped the gusher in July, BP said in a report to Michael Bromwich, director of the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, Regulation and Enforcement. The bureau, part of the U.S. Interior Department, released the report today after executives with the London-based company briefed Bromwich.
