BP oil spill timeline

Follow our step-by-step timeline of the BP oil spill, from the construction of Deepwater Horizon to date

December 1998

Construction begins on the Deepwater Horizon oil rig in Ulsan, South Korea, by Hyundai Heavy Industries Shipyard.

February 2001

The rig is delivered and valued at more than $560m.

20 April 2010

Explosion and fire on the BP-licensed Transocean drilling rig Deepwater Horizon, located in the Gulf of Mexico. Eleven people are reported missing and approximately 17 injured. A blowout preventer, intended to prevent release of crude oil, failed to activate.

22 April

Deepwater Horizon rig sinks in 5,000ft of water. Reports of a five-mile-long oil slick. Search-and-rescue operations by the US National Response Team begin.

23 April

The US coast guard suspends the search for missing workers, who are all presumed dead. The rig is found upside down about a quarter-mile from the blowout preventer. A homeland security department risk analysis says the incident "poses a negligible risk to regional oil supply markets and will not cause significant national economic impacts". White House press secretary Robert Gibbs says: "I doubt this is the first accident that has happened and I doubt it will be the last."

24 April

Oil is found leaking from the well for the first time. A homeland security report on critical infrastructure says the problem has "no near-term impact to regional or national crude oil or natural gas supplies."

25 April

US coast guard remote underwater cameras report the well is leaking 1,000 barrels of crude oil per day (bpd). It approves a plan for remote underwater vehicles to activate a blowout preventer and stop the leak.

26 April

BP's shares fall 2% amid fears that the cost of cleanup and legal claims will hit the London-based company hard. Roughly 15,000 gallons of dispersants and 21,000ft of containment boom are placed at the spill site.

27 April

The US departments of interior and homeland security announce plans for a joint investigation of the explosion and fire.

The coast guard announces it will set fire to the leaking crude to slow the spread of oil in the Gulf.

Minerals Management Service (MMS) approves a plan for two relief wells.

The homeland department's infrastructure and risk analysis centre reports: "Release of crude oil, natural gas and diesel fuel poses a high risk of environmental contamination in the Gulf of Mexico."

BP reports a rise in profits, due in large part to oil price increases, as shares rise again.

28 April

The coast guard says the flow of oil is 5,000bpd, five times greater than first estimated, after a third leak is discovered.

Gulf oil spill 'five times' larger than estimated

Controlled burns begin on the giant oil slick.

BP's attempts to repair a hydraulic leak on the blowout preventer valve are unsuccessful.

29 April

President Obama talks about the spill at the White House, his first public comments on the issue. He pledges "every single available resource", including the US military, to contain the spreading spill, and also says BP is responsible for the cleanup.

Louisiana declares a state of emergency due to the threat to the state's natural resources, as the oil slick approaches land.

30 April

An Obama aide says no drilling will be allowed in new areas until the cause of the Deepwater Horizon accident is established.

US bans new drilling in Gulf of Mexico

The US justice department announces that a team of lawyers is monitoring the spill. Safety inspections of all 30 deepwater drilling rigs and 47 deepwater production platforms are ordered.

BP chairman Tony Hayward says the company will take full responsibility for the spill, paying for all legitimate claims and the cost for the cleanup.

5 May

BP successfully attaches a valve to the end of the broken drilling pipe at the Macondo well in a bid to end the flow of oil into the US Gulf. BP says one of the three leaks has been shut off by capping a valve, but that would not reduce the amount of oil gushing out. Officials conduct controlled burns to remove oil from the open water.

6 May

BP confirms the arrival of three huge containment domes designed to collect much of the 5,000bpd leaking into the US Gulf from the Macondo blowout.

Containment dome reaches Gulf oil spill scene

The department of justice asks Transocean to preserve evidence in connection with the explosion and sinking of the rig.

Toxic pink oily seawater washes ashore on the Chandeleur Islands off the Louisiana coast, an important nesting and breeding area for many bird species.

Hayward tells the BBC that the blowout preventer owned by Transocean was at fault for the leak. BP, he said, "will be judged not on the basis of an accident that, you know, frankly was not our accident".

Analysts put the cost of the spill for BP at £15bn.

7 May

BP engineers use undersea robots to move the containment chamber over the larger of the two remaining leaks on the seabed. This containment method has never before been attempted at such a depth.

Efforts to close valves on a failed blowout preventer with underwater robots are abandoned.

A fishing ban for federal waters off the Gulf is extended to 17 May.

8 May

BP's containment dome hits a snag when a buildup of crystallised gas forces engineers to postpone efforts to place the chamber over the oil leak and draw the oil to the surface.

Tar balls suspected to come from the leak wash up along a half-mile stretch of Dauphin Island, Alabama.

9 May

BP says it might try to plug the undersea leak by pumping materials such as shredded tyres and golf balls into the well at high pressure, a method called a "junk shot".

10 May

BP announces plans to place a small containment dome, known as a "top hat", over the blown-out well to funnel oil to the surface, as Hayward holds a press conference.

11 May

At a hearing before the Senate committee on energy and natural resources, representatives of the three oil companies involved in the Deepwater drilling blame each other for the accident. Halliburton, which cemented BP's well, claims to have met BP's stated requirements for the task and cites the failure of Transocean's blowout preventer. Transocean's CEO says the blowout preventer was successfully tested a week before the accident; he also blames BP and Halliburton for the inadequate cementing believed to have led to the explosion. BP's president says that Transocean, as owner/operator of the drilling rig, is responsible for safety.

12 May

After the failure of the four-storey-high dome to draw oil from the major leak, BP lowers a five-foot-high dome to attempt to cover the smaller leak.

The congressional hearing is told BP, Halliburton and Transocean ignored safety warnings in the hours before the Deepwater explosion.

13 May

Steve Wereley, a researcher at Purdue University, tells the press he believes the well is leaking 70,000 bpd.

BP releases underwater footage of the effort to stem the leak.

The New York Times reports that "a half-dozen current and former agency scientists" for the Minerals Management Service (MMS) claim they were "regularly pressured by agency officials to change the findings of their internal studies if they predicted that an accident was likely to occur or if wildlife might be harmed". The article states that the MMS has allowed hundreds of drilling projects without obtaining legally required permits.

US said to allow drilling without needed permits

14 May

BP plans to insert a 4in-tube into the ruptured 21in riser pipe that would take the oil to the surface. If that fails, they will use the small containment dome that has already been lowered. Both methods are intended to reduce, not to stop, the leak.

Obama complains: "I did not appreciate what I considered to be a ridiculous spectacle during the congressional hearings into this matter. You had executives of BP and Transocean and Halliburton falling over each other to point the finger of blame at somebody else … it is pretty clear that the system failed, and it failed badly."

16 May

The tube begins to draw oil to the surface. The volume of oil travelling through the tube is gradually increased to avoid the hydrate formation that doomed the large containment dome.

18 May

Obama plans to establish an independent commission to investigate the oil leak, according to an anonymous administration official.

As the spill continues to spread, the no fishing zone is doubled to 19% of the Gulf waters.

20 May

BP reports that the amount of oil drawn off by the tube has increased to 5,000 bpd. Given that BP had previously estimated the entire leak at 5,000 bpd and the tube only draws off a fraction of the spill, the leak must be much larger than previously estimated.

Experts testifying at the congressional hearing put the figure at 20,000-100,000 barrels per day.
