It finds that out of 50 deepwater risk disclosure scores on key metrics including spill response procedures and drilling risk management, only four scores were good, and 29 (nearly 60 percent) were poor or no disclosure.
Further, concerns over the cost benefits could spill to other procedures, including gynecological and general surgery, hurting an expected rise in these procedures going forward.
The report, which also blamed insufficient regulation as a reason for the disaster, has recommended a standardization of procedures related to the events that led to the spill such as testing cement barriers and interpreting the results of those tests.
