disaster or the Macondo blowout) is an oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. It is the largest marine oil spill in the history of the petroleum industry. The spill stemmed from a sea-floor oil gusher that resulted from the April 20‚ 2010 Deepwater Horizon drilling rig explosion. The explosion killed 11 platform workers and injured 17 others. On July 15‚ the leak was stopped by capping the gushing wellhead after releasing about 4.9 million barrels (780×103 m3) of crude oil. It was estimated that 53‚000 barrels

BP acquired the right of operating the Macondo Well Project from the U.S. Minerals Management Service in 2009‚ and then BP leased the Deepwater Horizon rig from Transocean who provides offshore drilling equipment and personnel operation. Both BP and Transocean operated the Deepwater Horizon when the disaster happened. The Deepwater Horizon explosion resulted in major damages and losses.

lessons from the failure become very apparent including the facts that BP and Transocean risk management plans were inadequate‚ BP was not prepared for the accident (or any accident for the most part)‚ project management mistakes were made during drilling of the well‚ communication blunders were made by BP executives following the accident‚ the impact on the environment and stakeholders were underestimated‚ and the future of a company can be at risk from a critical failure of this magnitude.

weight otherwise known as drilling fluid density is a very important property of the drilling fluid which must be determined regularly during the drilling process. It is defined as the weight per unit volume of the drilling fluid or drilling mud usually expressed in units of g/cm3 or more conveniently lb/gal. Drilling fluid density or mud weight must be measured at regular intervals of the drilling process because as different formations are encountered during the drilling process‚ different fluids
