When BP keeps secrets, it’s time to worry
When BP seeks secrecy, we should be suspicious.
Just last week, a memo surfaced in the federal court case related to the Deepwater Horizon disaster that showed the company sought to keep from the public its estimates of how much oil might gush from the ruptured well. The estimates were far higher than the low-ball estimates it was floating to the public in the face of mounting outrage over what became the worst offshore spill in U.S. history.
So when BP asks a federal judge to suppress information pertaining to possible safety violations at another offshore project, it’s a red flag.
Kenneth Abbott, a former BP contractor and 30-year energy industry veteran, sued the company in Houston federal court in 2009 claiming BP didn’t complete or document almost 90 percent of the necessary engineering inspections on its massive Atlantis offshore platform in the Gulf of Mexico.
