So the latest reports say BP cut a lot of corners and they actually came up with some specifics. Any O&G experts here weigh on whether or not this is actually legit or if it's more just media pulverization of BP? ie. Do most companies do these "shortcuts"? I wish I knew enough about this stuff to make an educated conclusion =/

In an e-mail on April 16, a BP official involved in the decision explained: "It will take 10 hours to install them. I do not like this." Later that day, another official recognized the risks of proceeding with insufficient centralizers but commented: "who cares, it's done, end of story, will probably be fine."
