    Transocean's safety management system focused only on operations of the Deepwater Horizon rig itself, while BP's broader safety management system (OMS) had to encompass not just rig operations but also the entire deepwater drilling system including the well and all onshore support elements. Specifically, Transocean could not perform a full process safety evaluation or Management of Change review that would cover details of the well in addition to rig operations.

    Trial Testimony of Dr. Robert G.

    Bea

    Q. What difference was there, if any, between Transoceans safety management system and the BP safety management system OMS? A. Well, the principal difference is Transocean is addressing their part of the system exemplified by the graphic we discussed earlier today, the Deepwater Horizon. BP has to encompass that with the operating management system; in addition, the other onshore operating management elements. So Transocean cannot do a process safety evaluation or a MAR evaluation that will include details of the well and the other parts of that complex system.
