Learning opportunities laid in our people, our technologies and our processes. We recognized there were five specific areas that could and would be realized: prevention and drilling safety, containment, relief wells, spill response, and crisis management. Along that journey, a world of new learnings unfolded. None of us had a true appreciation of the scale and magnitude of challenges we would face with data management. We had to build communications infrastructure. BP received 125,000 ideas on how to plug the well, with 100 suitable for field testing and 45 able to be deployed. BP employs 20,000 people in the Gulf of Mexico. (Macondo was) very real, very personal, and very humbling. Work is still ongoing, but the future looks encouraging.
