To confirm their suspicions about the cement , or lay them to rest , the commission members asked scientists to conduct stability tests on the cement made from the same compounds as the slurry used on the bp well .
When word eventually began to leak out , locals in the know became protective of jackson , sending reporters the wrong way , and one farmer even threatened to empty his slurry trailer over the car of a paparazzo .
" Halliburton ( and perhaps bp ) should have considered redesigning the foam slurry before pumping it at the macondo well , " the letter said .
“哈里伯顿(可能bp也)应该在将泡沫泥浆注入马孔多钻井之前考虑重新设计它,”信中说。
" Halliburton personnel again modified the testing procedure and this time -- for the first time -- the data indicated the foam slurry design would be stable , " the report said .
“哈里伯顿的员工再次修改了测试步骤,这一次,测试数据第一次表明泡沫泥浆设计是稳定的,”报告表明。
When the scientists were unable to produce stable cement in the laboratory using materials provided by halliburton , the commission asked the global oil services company " to give us all of the data from all tests it had run on the macondo cement slurry , " the report says .
