Drowning in Oil: BP & the Reckless Pursuit of Profit

Drowning in Oil: BP & the Reckless Pursuit of Profit examines the corporate culture and decision-making that led to BP's catastrophic failures, from the Texas City refinery explosion in 2005 to the Deepwater Horizon disaster in 2010. This history documents how cost-cutting, safety violations, and a prioritization of shareholder returns over environmental responsibility created conditions for preventable tragedies that claimed lives and caused unprecedented ecological damage.

The book traces BP's trajectory from a respected global energy company to one defined by systemic negligence. Through documented incidents, internal communications, and regulatory investigations, the author reveals patterns of corner-cutting that persisted despite warnings from engineers and safety personnel. The narrative moves beyond headlines to examine the structural incentives within the oil industry that reward short-term profit over long-term risk management.

This is essential reading for understanding corporate accountability, the human cost of industrial shortcuts, and how major institutions rationalize behavior that endangers workers and ecosystems. The Deepwater Horizon spill became the largest environmental disaster in U.S. history, yet the underlying corporate failures it exposed extend across the energy sector and beyond.
