Deepwater Horizon 2020 combines two of the author’s previously published books about BP's 20 April 2010 Macondo blowout aboard Transocean's Deepwater Horizon drilling rig. The tragedy has been defined as one of the most lethal, costly, manmade, environmental disasters in history. As a career drilling engineer and technical executive, the author’s mantra has long been and remains: Only if we understand and care about the cause of BP’s Macondo blowout will we know why it should not have happened and why it should never happen again. To this end, the author researched depositions, rig reports, company documents, and public information about the blowout and published “The Simple Truth: BP’s Macondo Blowout,” in 2012. Based on his research for The Simple Truth, the author made technical, academic, and keynote presentations around the world about the cause of the blowout and subsequently published “From the Podium: The Cause of BP’s Macondo Blowout.” The nonfiction work compiles the author’s drawings, text, Q&A, conclusions, and recommendations. Now, 10 years after the tragedy, with a new generation of students, faculty, and technical and management personnel across the oil-and-gas industry, “Deepwater Horizon 2020” combines the previous works, eliminates duplication, and links footnotes, diagrams, and references between the books. Post-blowout accident investigations—academic, legal, regulatory, societal, forensic, environmental, financial, technical, and presidential—evolved on two fronts: Root Causes and Technical Causes. Root Causes include safety, procedural, communications, cultural, human-factors, financial, and other organizational processes that define the involved companies. This book, Deepwater Horizon 2020, does not address Root Causes, finger pointing, attorneys, deep pockets, names, or companies. Rather, it focuses on the Technical Causes of the blowout: specifically, what happened on the rig and in the office on a minute-by-minute, decision-by-decision basis that allowed the 3 ½ mile-deep, high-pressure oil well to erupt without control onto the rig, explode and catch fire, kill eleven, injure and disable dozens more, sink the rig in a mile of water, and dump more than 200 million gallons of crude oil into the Gulf of Mexico. It does so in two parts: The Simple Truth and From the Podium.
