Q.

Good afternoon, Mr. Keith.

13:18

A.

Yes, sir.

13:18

21

Q.

I want to pick up with a couple questions about your

13:18

22

access to the information in the mud logger shack.

13:18

23

A.

Okay.

13:18

24

Q.

I believe you said that there was a monitor there that

13:18

25

transmitted to the rig TV system?

Please be seated, everyone.

having been duly sworn, testified as follows:


CROSS-EXAMINATION

Are you ready to resume?

OFFICIAL TRANSCRIPT

Okay?

3663
JOSEPH KEITH - CROSS

13:18

A.

Yes, sir.

13:19

Q.

The display that would be put up during the time that you

13:19

would be in there would depend on the rig activity?

13:19

A.

Correct, or whatever the driller wanted me to put up.

13:19

Q.

Right.

13:19

or a curved line of pressure readings, correct?

13:19

A.

Correct.

13:19

Q.

As you described this morning, if you were to see an

13:19

indication of a kick or anomaly, you could expand the screen in

13:19

10

such a way as to be able to more clearly view what was going

13:19

11

on?

13:19

12

A.

Correct.

13:19

13

Q.

You also had a time log that would show the active pits,

13:19

14

the reserve pits, rotary torque, and that type of thing?

13:19

15

A.

Sure.

13:19

16

Q.

Now, your job as the mud logger was to monitor all

13:19

17

parameters, correct?

13:20

18

A.

Correct.

13:20

19

Q.

One of the tools that was available to you was the trend

13:20

20

lines that you could see as the data came through to you,

13:20

21

correct?

13:20

22

A.

Correct.

13:20

23

Q.

For some parameters, like drill pipe pressure, you could

13:20

24

also watch numerical values to see if it was changing?

13:20

25

A.

But for you, it could show either a digital output

Yes, sir.

Yes, sir.

Correct.

Yes, sir.

Yes, sir.

OFFICIAL TRANSCRIPT

3664
JOSEPH KEITH - CROSS

13:20

Q.

So when we say a numerical value, it would actually tell

13:20

you pressure over time, and you could see if it was moving up

13:20

or if it was moving down?

13:20

A.

Right.

13:20

Q.

Yes, a digital number.

13:20

13:20

13:21

13:21

13:21

10

A.

Correct.

13:21

11

Q.

You were relieving Cathleenia Willis, correct?

13:21

12

A.

Right.

13:21

13

Q.

I think I asked you about this before the break; but it

13:21

14

would be your practice to meet with her early, before the tour

13:21

15

would begin?

13:21

16

A.

Yes, sir.

13:21

17

Q.

On the afternoon of April 20, you reviewed the prior rig

13:21

18

activities -- that is, what had taken place that day -- plus

13:21

19

the planned activities for the rest of the day with Ms. Willis?

13:21

20

A.

Yes, sir.

13:21

21

Q.

I think you have described that that meeting took about

13:21

22

15 minutes?

13:21

23

A.

Approximately, yes, sir.

13:21

24

Q.

Now, you keep in the mud logger shack what you have

13:21

25

referred to today as a "ledger," correct?

The digital number, yes, sir.

Now, let's shift topics now to when you began your


service on the evening of April 20.

Okay?

You went on tour on the Deepwater Horizon between


5:00 and 5:30 that evening?

Yes, sir.

OFFICIAL TRANSCRIPT

3665
JOSEPH KEITH - CROSS

13:21

A.

Yes, sir.

13:21

Q.

That ledger is there so that you can keep a history of

13:21

what you have seen and what you have observed during your time

13:21

on tour?

13:21

A.

Yes, sir.

13:21

Q.

And it also is a good record for her to pass on to you

13:22

when you come on tour so you can see what's happened before?

13:22

A.

Yes, sir.

13:22

Q.

You would use that log or that ledger to track things like

13:22

10

pit transfers?

13:22

11

A.

Correct.

13:22

12

Q.

When you're monitoring pit volumes, you would write down

13:22

13

every time there would be a transfer and how many barrels were

13:22

14

being transferred?

13:22

15

A.

Yes, sir.

13:22

16

Q.

You were doing this to make sure that everything was going

13:22

17

to the right pits?

13:22

18

A.

As far as I know, yes, sir.

13:22

19

Q.

As part of your job?

13:22

20

A.

Correct.

13:22

21

Q.

Now, when you came on tour between 5:30 and 6:00, you

13:22

22

reviewed the notes that Ms. Willis had written down in her

13:22

23

ledger book to understand what had happened during her tour?

13:22

24

A.

Yes, sir.

13:22

25

Q.

You reviewed the time logs that were up?

Yes, sir.

OFFICIAL TRANSCRIPT

3666
JOSEPH KEITH - CROSS

13:22

A.

Yes, sir.

13:22

Q.

What are the time logs?

13:22

A.

The time log is the curved numeric curve lines, and it's

13:22

spaced out per time.

13:23

Q.

13:23

you look at that?

13:23

A.

Yes, sir.

13:23

Q.

And the other ones you have talked about?

13:23

A.

Yes, sir.

13:23

10

Q.

You asked Ms. Willis what steps she had completed and what

13:23

11

activities were coming up next?

13:23

12

A.

Yes, sir, correct.

13:23

13

Q.

You know that she had been at the operational meeting

13:23

14

earlier in the day at around 11:00?

13:23

15

A.

Yes, sir.

13:23

16

Q.

That's what you described before the lunch break?

13:23

17

A.

Yes, sir.

13:23

18

Q.

You discussed with her the displacement procedure for the

13:23

19

negative pressure test?

13:23

20

A.

13:23

21

where we were at at the time.

13:23

22

Q.

13:23

23

procedures?

13:23

24

A.

Correct.

13:23

Q.

You were shown this document earlier.

So you could see parameters like pressure over time when

We just went over the steps that had -- had been done and

BY MR. BROCK:

13:23

Q.

13:24

SWACO BP Deepwater Horizon displacement procedure, correct?

13:24

A.

Right.

13:24

Q.

You would have looked at it that night?

13:24

A.

Yes, sir.

13:24

10

Q.

Then if we look at 967.1.2, this is No. 3 on the list and

13:24

11

it says:

13:24

starboard with mud hose on her."

13:24

13

13:24

14

A.

Yes, sir.

13:24

15

Q.

That had already occurred by the time you arrived on tour,

13:24

16

correct?

13:24

17

A.

As far as I know, yes, sir.

13:24

18

Q.

In other words, this activity had been completed, correct?

13:24

19

A.

Yes, sir.

13:24

20

at the time when I came on tour.

13:24

21

Q.

13:24

22

time you came on tour?

13:24

23

A.

As far as I know, yes, sir.

13:24

24

Q.

Now, under Step 8 it says -- of the displacement it says:

13:25

"Switch to overboard discharge."

MR. BROCK:

If we could pull that up, it's

Correct?

13:25

A.

Correct.

13:25

Q.

That activity had not occurred yet?

13:25

A.

Correct.

13:25

Q.

But you knew that it was upcoming during the period of

13:25

time you would be on the rig?

13:25

A.

Yes, sir.

13:25

Q.

Or on service in the mud logger's cabin?

13:25

A.

Yes, sir.

13:25

10

Q.

Then if we look at 1.4, we see that:

test is an apparent pass, discharge the remaining spacer and

13:25

seawater down the over board line.

13:25

13

13:25

14

A.

Yes, sir.

13:25

15

Q.

What this refers to is what we have talked about earlier

13:25

16

that took place after the sheen test, when the fluids were

13:25

17

pumped overboard and were no longer going past your flow meter?

13:25

18

A.

Correct.

13:25

19

Q.

After your discussion with Ms. Willis, you were aware of

13:25

20

the planned activities; that is, what was going to be occurring

13:26

21

the rest of the evening?

13:26

22

A.

Yes, sir.

13:26

23

Q.

You didn't have any questions about the M-I SWACO

displacement procedure?

13:26

Yes, sir.

13:26

Q.

What we mean by that is the movement of drilling fluids

13:26

from one pit to another?

13:26

A.

Yes, sir.

13:29

11

Q.

You could monitor flow-in, I think you said earlier today,

Q.

If at any time on April 20 you had concluded or believed

13:31

21

that there was conduct or an event or activity that created an

13:31

22

unsafe condition, you understood that your responsibility would

13:31

23

be to report that to the company man, to the driller, or even

13:31

If you believed that you were not able to monitor

13:31

important parameters related to safety, you could stop work.

13:32

13

you were able to monitor parameters that night?

13:32

A.

Yes, sir.

13:32

20

Q.

You never told anyone from BP at any time that you were

13:32

21

not able to monitor the parameters that you were required to

13:32

monitor?

13:32

23

A.

No, sir.

13:32

13:33

A.

Yes, sir.

13:33

Q.

There was a slide put up about different things that were

13:33

going on that day.

13:33

A.

Yes, sir.

13:33

Q.

It's true, isn't it, that none of the activities that took

13:33

place on the rig between 5:00 p.m. on April 20, 2010 and the

13:33

10

moment of the explosion interfered with your ability to do your

11

job?

13:33

12

A.

Correct.

13:33

13

Q.

No activities on the rig distracted you or rendered you

13:33

13:36

A.

Yes, sir.

13:36

-- that's the first time the standpipe pressure went off,

If there was an increase of more than 150 psi on the drill

should have sounded?

Now, over here is where your mud logger shack is, correct?

A.

Correct.

14:02

I think you have described that you're on the same floor

A.

Same level, yes, sir.

Q.

Now, do you see here we have "drill floor"?

14:02

A.

Yes, sir.

A.

Yes, sir.

time that the diversion overboard takes place, correct?

14:05

12

A.

Correct, yes, sir.

14:05

13

Q.

Because at that point it does not go by your flow meter.

That's what you call --

14:05

A.

Correct.

Q.

But, in fact, that flow still goes by the Transocean flow

14:19

right?

14:19

A.

Sounded like Leo, yes, sir.

14:19

Q.

You said you made that call around 8:30, right before you

14:19

went on break?

14:19

A.

14:19

pit gain, yes, sir.

14:19

That was around 8:30 or so?

Yes, sir.

A.

I didn't know that, sir.

Q.

If you will accept that for me, that he had testified to

14:20

to you, that he was in bed at 8:10 this evening.

14:20

A.

I didn't know that.

14:20

Q.

Okay.

14:20

said it sounded like Leo, but if I'm telling you that there's

14:20

testimony there that Leo was off-tour by 7:30 and was in bed --

14:20

in fact, he had a funny story about how his gosh-darn alarm

14:20

clock and his TV that he used to wake him up, that's why he

14:20

knew he was in his room and what time.

14:20

A.

Yeah.

You are okay with that?

you?

A.

Right.

Q.

I guess in fairness to you, then, if -- perhaps if Leo

wasn't there to have the call, you had mentioned, I believe in

14:21

your deposition testimony -- and I'm happy to show this to you

14:52

United States it's termed "port captain" or "port engineer."

14:56

A.

but I do remember in -- I believe it may have been August 1992,

14:56

I was hired by a firm of lawyers in Houston, I believe, to

14:56

carry out a survey of the new DP MODU called the Cajun Express.

14:57

10

The vessel had been put under long-term charter to Marathon.

14:57

11

It had been built in -- I believe it was in Korea, had come

14:57

into the Gulf and started drilling.

the rig came off the wellhead.

16

what we call "third-party auditors," people who go in and make

15:10

17

sure that the company understands what's going on.

15:10

18

to produce what's called a "safety management system," and this

15:11

10

A.

One is "instructions and procedures to ensure safe

A.

That's correct.

A.

That is correct.

15:17

11

Q.

Now, we are going to get into this at some length after we

and that can actuate the governor as well.

or they call them -- in the oil business they call them rig

15:44

11

savers because they actually shut off -- mechanically stop air

from going into the turbochargers so that the methane gas can't

13

keep feeding the engine.

15:44

16

and ultimately explode.

15:44

17

Q.

Why do they call them rig savers?

15:44

18

A.

Because it saves the rig from blowing up.

15:45

19

Q.

These rig savers -- even if the engine is ingesting

15:45

20

hydrocarbons or some flammable gas from some other source and

15:45

21

all else fails, the rig savers shut down the engine's ability

15:45

to ingest any type of air; is that correct?

15:45

23

A.

Yes, absolutely.

15:45

Yes, they should have been.

15:45

A.

That's correct, yes.

10

or were supposed to do or could do in the event of an

15:46

They should understand the functions of what's going on so

Q.

If, during those audits, nonconformities are discovered,

15:49

12

whether they are regular or major nonconformities, what exactly

15:49

13

is the regulatory obligation of Transocean in that case?

15:49

14

A.

15:49

15

required under the code, as well, to do what we call internal

15:49

16

audits.

15:49

17

of the vessel, or rig, to try to discover defects and

15:49

18

nonconformities that the class may find.

theoretically at least, at his -- I'm talking about the

obligation to report that or those nonconformities, if they are

15:51

16

Transocean?

15:51

17

A.

Yes.

15:51

Q.

He would certainly have a similar obligation if it were a

15:51

19

major nonconformity, whether it was corrected or not.

15:51

20

your opinion that that should be reported to the highest level

15:51

of management as soon as it becomes known?

15:51

A couple questions about this sentence, Mr. Webster.

16:56

17

First of all, in your opinion, based solely on your knowledge,

16:56

18

is the BOP a safety-critical piece of equipment on the vessel?

16:57

19

A.

Yes, it's one of the most critical items.

16:57

20

Q.

Is it acceptable practice, in your opinion, to change

16:57

21

valves -- or to have in the records that three sets of valves

were listed as changed, but there being no reference as to

16:57

which ones were changed?

16:57

which ones have been recently repaired and which aren't.
