The resolutions are steps that the society attempt to implement to revert the effects that the event has produced. Consider the Deepwater Horizon disaster that happened on July 17th 2010. Upon critical review the group have identified series of antecedents that led to the disaster. At the tipping point the disaster occurred‚ lives were lost and numerous crew members injured. After the

How BP failed at crisis communication British Petroleum (BP) suffered a large-scale public relations and crisis communication disaster‚ when an oil-drilling rig accident on 20th April 2010 incurred a spillage of several million gallons of crude oil into the Gulf of Mexico. This catastrophic spill has been regarded as one of the most severe environmental damages recorded in the U.S. history‚ causing public animosity and frustration‚ substantially because of inappropriate BP´s crisis communication

we are currently and explore other areas that we have not been to such as Alaska. Every so many years we seem to have an oil disaster like the Deepwater Horizon or the recent disaster in the Louisiana Gulf Coast. It has been shown and proven that companies such as British Petroleum operate unsafely and don’t care about our environment.

(BP leak the world’s worst accidental oil spill‚ 2010). The goal of our research is to seek possible solutions to reduce the risks of offshore oil spills. To attain this goal‚ we gathered information from over twenty sources‚ including “Deepwater Horizon oil” from Wikipedia research and an article from the LA Times. Our research focused mainly on four aspects of the BP oil spill‚ the aspects of environment‚ economy‚ politics and policy‚ and the internal BP crisis. At first‚ we went over the

Deepwater Horizon oil spill is a massive ongoing oil spill and oil gusher in the Gulf of Mexico that started on April 20‚ 2010.

Individuals and/or parties with procedural needs have issues relating to how the dispute is resolved. BP procedural needs were really simple‚ they wanted to find the best result while being time and cost efficient. The Deepwater Horizon was part of the Pride of the Transocean fleet of offshore drilling rigs. It was stationed 40 miles off the coast of Louisiana. BP leased the $560-million-dollar rig and was in the process of putting the finishing touches on the oil company’s 18‚000-foot-deep Macondo. So a swift
