I do not know the MMS rules but according to NORSOK standard used in Norway there is a lot of “flaws” in BOP design, casing design, cement design and verification, barrier criteria and verification, operational procedures and execution. There will be new rules and regulation in the states, that I am sure.
BP: I think they really are doing everything they can. The fall back solution in all well planning is relief wells.
Look at this overview:

BP have all Blow out experts in the world working for them. If something happens here in Norway they are all gone…[/QUOTE]
No worries, nothing will ever happen in Norway, remember you said you guys have better regulations and you follow all of them… so my plea for a back up surface bop wouldn’t even pertain to Norway… shit only happens to cowboys… or is it caused by over complacency…
edited to add: BTW, I do have deep respect for the technology you’ve developed in Norway, so thanks.
