Drawing on original, never-before-published interviews with BP executives, environmental experts, and oil industry insiders, the award-winning Houston Chronicle journalist Loren Steffy delivers an authoritative and hard-hitting analysis of how BP's pursuit of profits at any costs was as the heart of the Deep Horizon disaster.
Written by the man many consider to be the reporter closest to BP and to the unfolding Gulf environmental catastrophe, Drowning in Oil will be the first complete narrative of BP's intensely competitive corporate culture, the firm's century-long rise among energy giants, well as the impact its recent missteps will have on both the US economy and global energy markets in the era of Peak Oil.
