Why Did BP Oil Spill?

BP’s primary goal was to clean up the spill as quickly as possible. It wanted to plug the hole in the oilrig to prevent more oil from dispersing into the ocean. BP also wanted to restore the environment, the local economy’s that were affected, and also their own image as an organization.

BP’s primary objectives were to admit to the American public that they were responsible for the Deepwater Horizon explosion, that it should be held accountable for the crisis, and that it was doing everything possible to restore economies that were reliant on the Gulf of
Mexico.
