BP: Scope of oil disaster internal probe 'had limitations'
A BP executive has admitted that an internal probe he led into the Gulf of Mexico oil disaster "had limitations'.
Mark Bly told a New Orleans court that the investigation did not consider the role of budgetary pressures from senior management in causing the accident.
A BP policy that investigations look at systematic failures by management was waived when the probe was initiated three days after the 2010 spill.
The trial will decide how much of the cost of the disaster BP must bear.
