No that would increase risks rather than reduce risks. There are plenty of built-in safety margins. High density drilling muds, MWD sensors, customized cements, subsea safety valve, blowout preventer and engineers that are taught not to test the system limits by removing drilling mud before the well is ready. BP failed in the last item and also for failing to test the BOP. Transocean also has a role in the failure to test and repair BOP if the 60 minutes interviewee has his facts straight. Halliburton as far as I can tell did what BP wanted after offering their recommendations. BP not running a cement bond log after the cement job is just mind boggling to me.
