Halliburton Unleashes Fierce Rebuttal to Macondo Cement Findings

摘要

Halliburton has rejected allegations by the presidential oil spill commission that the ce- ment it supplied for BP's Macondo well was unstable and may have contributed to the blowout which killed 11 men and set off a massive oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. “Well logs and rig personnel confirm that the well was not flowing after the cement job. BP and/or others, following the misin- terpreted negative tests conducted after the cement job, proceeded to displace mud in the production casing and riser with lighter seawater, allowing the well to flow,” the oil- field services company said in a statement.
