Not really BP's fault anywayThe rig was operated by Transocean, an American firm. BP give contractors the job of pumping out the oil, they don't do it all themselves.
The rig in question was only recently sold to Transocean. At the sale, the previous owners said "That valve (that caused the disaster) is knackered, we sell it you on condition it is repaired. You might get another drilling from it, but we offer no garauntee."
5 drillings later (5!) it went up.
