It pledged $20 billion to pay civil claims from Gulf Coast residents whose livelihoods were hurt, and its plea agreement with the government was announced just as the indictments against Kaluza and Vidrine were unsealed. In both the civil and criminal litigation that followed, BP, whose American headquarters are located in west Houston, moved quickly to head off its liability. Kaluza and Vidrine were trapped between two powerful forces: the public outcry to hold individuals accountable and what some saw as BP’s desire to ensure that those individuals weren’t high-ranking executives. Weeks after the explosion, President Obama told NBC’s Matt Lauer he was trying to figure out “whose ass to kick.”
By the time it sank and settled onto the floor of the Gulf of Mexico, the search for who was responsible had already begun. The Deepwater Horizon blew up on April 20, 2010, killing eleven men. None of us thought they were actually going to go after the well site leaders.” A few minutes later he returned, with bad news: the federal government was indicting Kaluza on 22 felony manslaughter charges and 1 misdemeanor for his role in the worst offshore oil disaster in American history. Then, one of his attorneys stepped out to speak with a colleague. It was beginning to look as if hiring a legal team had been an unnecessary precaution. Yet in the intervening months, no charges had been filed against him. Two and a half years earlier, Kaluza had been one of two BP supervisors on the Deepwater Horizon oil rig the night it exploded, and he was worried that the federal government would hold him responsible. The co-workers thrived at making the system work but struggle with why one office followed the rules and the other did not.In November 2012 Bob Kaluza was in Houston meeting with the defense lawyers that his employer, the British oil giant BP, had hired on his behalf. Those that followed the expectations have been removed or replaced within the company and those that did not follow it remain. The roll-out of a new directive created a great challenge for many people and choices had to be made to either follow the guidelines or to not. As i stated before the most enjoyable part of the job was the team that we had on and all the regular customers. The manager was very fair, basically if you completed your jobs and worked as a team then she was pleased. The hardest part of the job i think was having too come into a shift where the shift before had been extremely busy and run off their feet that they had no time to complete the daily jobs that needed to be done, so it left you having too complete 2 shifts jobs in one shift, is definitely achievable if you put your head down. We never had to question what they wanted as we knew once we saw their car pull into the forecourt, they along with the team really made working there worth while.
