Kadaicher,
thanks very much for the annotation and link. There's some very damning stuff in there. I'll leave it at that - it's not just the RIG, BP, and HAL folk who are under wraps.

BTW the shear ram failures i was referring to were all in non-job settings. The failures were apparently due to mismatches between the heavier gauge pipe used in deepwater drilling and BOPs that hadn't likewise been upgraded to deal with the heavier gauge pipe.
