Bad Practices
Pulling out a failsafe on a blowout preventer to open up a port for instrumentation, not bothering to keep fresh batteries in an emergency control pannel, using seawater instead of drilling-mud during cap-off, 'cause, ya know, we can save more of that for the next job, and then, once methane and water form clathrates in the drill-pipe, using cement that liberates heat during curing to, perhaps, explosively destabilize those clathrates...the littany of bp astounds.
