Sounds like it may have been the cement. I had a data up last year, the service company sent out the wrong cement blend and it never set up, was like jello. Was just a clerical error, maybe something like that happened. In that case BP as operator will pay the bill, but they would be going after halliburton or whoever did the cementing uncivil court.

I don't think it's totally clear yet whether or not it was just the cement though, isn't there still uncertainty as to things like the BOP system failing? Everything I hear is that nothing concrete (pardon the pun) is known about exactly what failed, have you read differently? My understanding was that it was a combination of screw ups.
