The other major problems on the rig, Congress has said, centred on the cement job. Cement in an oil well blocks explosive gases from escaping, and it appears the cement may not have been set properly on the Deepwater Horizon platform.
BP said it had had indications of a successful cementing operation and the company that was in charge of the cement job, Halliburton, has said it was consistent with that used in similar applications.
The BBC spoke to several rig workers who were on the Deepwater Horizon rig and they said there had been pressure in April to work fast.
