3. Project Background  On April 20, 2010, the BP-licensed Transocean drilling rig, Deepwater Horizon, explodes of the Coast of Mexico  By April 22, 2010, the Deepwater Horizon had sunk 5,000 feet, leaving an oil slick of more than 5 miles  The Deepwater Horizon project started as a $500 million oil exploration project; Hundreds of different projects costing more than $100 billion  Effects on the economy:  58,000 Louisiana oil workers were unemployed for 6 months due to moratorium on off shore drilling  Estimated $800 million due to the loss of tourism  Estimated $962 million lost in the fishing industry

5. Project Scope  Over 16,000 miles of coastline were affected by the oil spill, stretching from Texas to Florida  The oil spill covered roughly 29,000 square miles, or around the size of South Carolina  Over 55,000 people/employees were involved in the clean-up of the oil spill  The U.S Navy and Coast Guard used 4500 boats  Tens of thousand of volunteers helped with wildlife clean up  BP Oil Spill BP Oil Spill

6. Project Scope  Effects on the economy:  58,000 Louisiana oil workers were unemployed for 6 months due to moratorium on off shore drilling  Estimated $800 million due to the loss of tourism  Estimated $962 million lost in the fishing industry  BP has created many projects to help support the oil spill clean-up and the surrounding community  BP is still working with the EPA to restore all oil drilling production in the Gulf Coast region

7. Project Time  BP had planned to test cement bond logging, but canceled it  The cancelation save BP a days worth of work and a little over $100,000  The cancelation would be costly, however, and the Deepwater oil spill and explosion was a result  The explosion killed 19 people and injured 17 others; 11 people were never found  Stopping the leak and plugging the hole is easier said than done, especially at 5000ft below sea level

8. Project Time  BP still has projects ongoing, which makes the overall project time unpredictable  A lot of local business and communities around the Gulf Coast have suffered tremendous losses  As the project time continues to be unknown, those losses will continue to grow

9. Estimated Project Cost Estimated cost ( billion) Confirmed cost of the Gulf oil spill$1.6 Cleanup costs and Fines$ 40 Government-mandated cap on oil company liability$0.075 Insurance Claims$1.5 Proposed settlement$ 7.8 Total estimated costs $ 50.975 Estimated costs from BP (As of June, 2010 )

10. Project Claims Cost Amount Paid Individual and Business Claims$10,942,903,742 Government$1,463,593,511 Tourism, Seafood Marketing and Testing, Behavioral Health and 2010 Contributions $328,255,384 Total Payments $12,734,752,637 BP’s total payments (As of October 31 st, 2013)

11. Lessons Learned  Cost is least important  Time and scope are priority in order to keep damage at a minimum and keep a positive public image  Other companies can learn as well  Preventive measures so ensure that this type of spill doesn’t happen again  Plans in place in case it does happen again
