Earthjustice: Stop ultra-deepwater drilling project in the Gulf of Mexico
Fifteen years after BP’s Deepwater Horizon — the most destructive oil spill in U.S. history — the same company is asking the federal government to approve a new, massive offshore drilling project in the Gulf. The proposed project, called Kaskida, would be BP’s first completely new oilfield in the Gulf since Deepwater Horizon. Only this time at greater depths where conditions are so extreme that the project would require still-emerging technology to withstand the extraordinary pressure and heat. The regional Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) office in the Gulf is now weighing whether to approve BP’s new proposal.
