BP Cited Bad Cement Job for Caspian Shutdown, WikiLeaks Says

摘要

Nearly a year and a half before its devas- tating Macondo blowout, BP suffered a gas leak at a well in the Caspian Sea that could have been caused by “a bad cement job,” ac- cording to US diplomatic cables published by WikiLeaks on Thursday. Questions have been raised about the ce- menting of the Macondo well, too, but Hal- liburton, which did the work, has not been targeted in the US lawsuit against BP and other contractors (p1).
