David Wall VP Hse & Im EPT - HSE, Operations & Engineering: Confidential BP-HZN - BLYOO196756

Dave Wall recommends Tony Hunt or Dave Dixon to lead the investigation into the drilling details, as they would provide the right level of technical support and leadership. Steve Flynn discusses coordinating expertise for the investigation, including having Matt Lucas advise on conducting the root cause analysis, Gordon Binell provide well engineering and operations expertise, and identifying other experienced and independent individuals to lead sub-teams examining the downhole design, safety systems, rig design, and emergency response.
