Statement by BP America on completion of MC252 relief well

The following statement was released by BP America Chairman and President Lamar McKay on completion of the MC252 Relief Well in the Gulf of Mexico.

Today’s completion of relief well operations on the Macondo well is a significant technological accomplishment and another important milestone in our continued efforts to restore the Gulf Coast. Our work is not finished, however. BP remains committed to remedying the harm that the spill caused to the Gulf of Mexico, the Gulf Coast environment, and to the livelihoods of the people across the region.

BP will continue sharing what we have learned in an effort to prevent a tragedy like this from ever being repeated. We also believe that the industry will gain important insights on how to be better prepared to respond to any future incidents.
