New York — As the Gulf oil spill gushed out of control, BP’s financial liabilities seemed big enough to sink the company. No more.

The oil giant BP said Wednesday in its internal report that a series of failures involving a number of companies ultimately led to the huge oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico.

A new blowout preventer has been placed atop BP’s problem oil well, a move that should allow crews to drill into the well deep underground and kill it for good in about a week.

BP has accepted some of the blame for the deadly rig disaster that led to the worst oil spill in United States history, according to a new report.

BP PLC plans to move ahead with replacing the blowout preventer that sits atop the well that unleashed the Deepwater Horizon oil spill, despite failing in attempts to remove pieces of drill pipe stuck inside the device, the federal oil-spill response chief said Friday.
