The effort to contain and control the blow-out of the Macondo well
was unprecedented. From April 20, 2010, the day the well blew out,
until 19 September 2010, when the government finally declared it
"dead", BP expended enormous resources to develop and deploy new
technologies that eventually captured a substantial amount of oil
at the source and, after 87 days, stopped the flow of oil into the
Gulf of Mexico. BP had to construct novel devices, and the
government had to mobilize personnel on the fly, because neither
was ready for a disaster of this nature in deep water. This book
examines the efforts to "kill the spill" after the Deepwater
Horizon explosion, wherein BP was able to design, build, and use
new containment technologies, while the federal government was able
to develop effective oversight capacity.
