BP released a report last month about the failures that occurred, and in turn caused the fire and oil spill. The report includes findings of a deficient barrier which allowed hydrocarbons to escape, “negative pressure tests,” and systems which allowed gas to travel in the engine rooms, causing the fire. Another major failure was that the blowout preventer was unsuccessful in “sealing the well.”
