Description

We initiated this investigation in December 2012 after receiving a complaint from the legal team of a former BP contractor who filed a False Claims Act lawsuit against BP in 2009. The lawsuit stated that Atlantis, a BP deepwater production platform in the Gulf of Mexico, lacked critical engineering documentation that created a serious safety risk.
