F.     Company Practices


                          The failure of the crew to stop work on the Deepwater Horizon after
                   encountering multiple hazards and warnings was a contributing cause of the
                   Macondo blowout.

                          BP’s failure to fully assess the risks associated with a number of
                   operational decisions leading up to the blowout was a contributing cause of the
                   Macondo blowout.

                          BP’s cost or time saving decisions without considering contingencies and
                   mitigation were contributing causes of the Macondo blowout.

                          BP’s failure to ensure all risks associated with operations on the Deepwater
                   Horizon were as low as reasonably practicable was a contributing cause of the
                   Macondo blowout.


                          BP’s failure to have full supervision and accountability over the activities
                   associated with the Deepwater Horizon was a contributing cause of the Macondo
                   blowout.

                          BP’s failure to document, evaluate, approve, and communicate changes
                   associated with Deepwater Horizon personnel and operations was a possible
                   contributing cause of the Macondo blowout.

                          The failure of BP and Transocean to ensure they had a common,
                   integrated approach to well control was a possible contributing cause of the
                   Macondo blowout.


                          The failure of the current Subpart O rule to identify (by definition)
                   personnel who need to be trained in well control operations, specifically in kick
                   detection, was a possible contributing cause of the Macondo blowout.
