Did SLB Contractor Warn BP Rig Foreman to Plug the Hole Before It Blew?

BP contracted Schlumberger (SLB) to run the Cement Bond Log (CBL) test that was the final test on the plug that was skipped. The people testifying have been very coy about mentioning this, and you'll see why.

SLB is an extremely highly regarded (and incredibly expensive) service company. They place a high standard on safety and train their workers to shut down unsafe operations.

SLB gets out to the Deepwater Horizon to run the CBL, and they find the well still kicking heavily, which it should not be that late in the operation. SLB orders the "company man" (BP's man on the scene that runs the operation) to dump kill fluid down the well and shut-in the well. The company man refuses. SLB in the very next sentence asks for a helo to take all SLB personel back to shore. The company man says there are no more helo's scheduled for the rest of the week (translation: you're here to do a job, now do it). SLB gets on the horn to shore, calls SLB's corporate HQ, and gets a helo flown out there at SLB's expense and takes all SLB personel to shore.

6 hours later, the platform explodes.

Pick your jaw up off the floor now. No CBL was run after the pressure tests because the contractor high-tailed it out of there. If this story is true, the company man (who survived) should go to jail for 11 counts of negligent homicide.

Let me note here that these are still unconfirmed allegations. However, with the shroud of secrecy about SLB testing and their warnings to BP it is likely that there is a hush order in place. Knowing how the oligarchs view us "little people" it is likely this is accurate and there should be witnesses who can give us a first hand report whether a helo left the rig with anyone. Where are the so-called investigative journalists?

I find no fault with the SLB personnel getting the heck away from the danger once the BP foreman refused to follow their instructions. They told him how dangerous it was. His response and actions resulted in the explosion that destroyed the platform, killed people and now threatens to destroy the eco-system of perhaps the entire oceans of the earth.

What I want to know is what the SLB experts did once they got back onshore. When they called there HQ did the hot shots at HQ notify the Federal agencies regulating drilling in the Gulf? If not why not? Was there no enforcement in place to force the BP foreman to follow SLB directions? Or have them enforced by the Federal regulators?

Now however it is much more important to focus upon getting all the resources and experts available to the problem of plugging the hole. But the foreman on the rig needs to be charged! NOT the CEO somewhere in an ivory tower. What the administrators of BP need to be slammed for is not having directions to their platform supervisors that SLB and other monitoring safety contractors' warnings or calls for shutting down the rig needed to be followed without hesitation. What all of these entities needed if the Fed was of any use at all it should have had real time awareness of all safety contractor reports in real time activity! Why is that so friggin hard for bureaucrats and corporate pinheads to understand?
