BP Sues Owner of Failed Rig To Win Back Money 
----------------------------------------------



The oil giant BP marked the one-year anniversary of the Deepwater
Horizon Rig explosion by filing a pair of lawsuits in an attempt to win
back some of the money it has paid out after last year's massive oil
spill. The suits target Transocean, the owner of the Deepwater Horizon
rig, and Cameron International, the company that made the blowout
preventer that failed last year. BP said it filed the lawsuits, “to
ensure that all parties involved in the Macondo well are appropriately
held accountable.”
