In the DVD workshop, Falling Dominos of Macondo Professor Hopkins:

  • Analyses the failure of the barriers that should have prevented the Macondo blowout in the Gulf of Mexico and considers how independent the barriers were.
  • The barriers behaved like falling dominos, not just one or two had failed, it was system wide. Understanding the nature of these barriers permits a critical analysis of the system of defence in depth.
  • Professor Hopkins not only analyses why these failures contributed to multiple fatalities and devastating environmental disaster, he deconstructs the plans put in place in response to the blowout.

This DVD workshop is essential viewing for all senior managers in the oil and gas industries.

  • Understanding what one must consider when developing response plans in the event of a blowout
