A US federal judge has told BP that contractors Transocean and Halliburton do not have to help pay compensation over the Deepwater Horizon oil spill because they are protected by their contracts.
More than 750m litres of oil spewed into the Gulf of Mexico after the undersea well blew out on 20 April 2010 and was not capped until July.
BP, Transocean and Halliburton have been sparring over who was at fault for causing the blowout. Federal investigators have said BP, the well’s owner, bears ultimate responsibility for the spill but have faulted all three companies to some degree.
