...Deepwater Horizon was to drill into the reservoir, then seal the well known as temporary abandonment ready for a future production unit to recover the oil. Drilling rigs such as these are mobile, moving around the world for contracts with major oil companies such as BP. A production unit (which may be a floating facility or a semi-permanent unit fixed to the seabed) then connects to the well to recover the hydrocarbons, possibly staying on location for decades. Delays meant that the Deepwater Horizon was overdue to leave the Macondo well by six weeks. The Macondo well had proved to be challenging, earning it the nickname the well from hell.
At the time, Transocean was a major offshore drilling rig contractor with over a hundred of these drilling rigs under contract. The fees for such a rig (and the specialist crew) could be up to $1 million per day. This contractual relationship between Transocean and BP was to become a key issue in the legal proceedings that followed the incident...

Thank you. A BRILLIANT Post! Here's a Toast
