3 squabbling companies must cooperate to plug well
By BP is drilling relief wells that Halliburton will pump cement through to permanently choke the oil well.. "Simply, we are all too professional to allow disagreements between BP and any other organization to affect our behaviors," Ryan Urik, a BP well safety adviser working on the Development Driller II, which is drilling a backup relief well, said in an e-mail recently.. But at least one expert said government probes and potential for lawsuits can't help but chill communication.. The roles of the three companies in the relief effort are much the same as they were on the Deepwater Horizon, the exploratory rig that blew up soon after a temporary cement cap was placed on its well, killing 11 workers.. BP and Transocean executives pointed fingers at each others' company, as well as at Halliburton during Senate testimony in May. Attorney General Eric Holder has indicated that BP isn't the only company that could be held liable.
