The civil and criminal proceedings stemming from the explosion of Deepwater Horizon and the resulting massive oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico began shortly after the April 20, 2010 incident and have continued since then. They have included an extensive claims settlement process for a guilty plea to criminal charges by BP, and an ongoing Clean Water Act lawsuit brought by the U.S. Department of Justice and other parties.

| - Als Deepwater-Prozess wird der Zivilprozess gegen den britischen BP-Ölkonzern und andere Unternehmen wegen der Explosion auf der Ölplattform Deepwater Horizon am 20. April 2010 und der darauffolgenden verheerenden Ölpest im Golf von Mexiko bezeichnet. Der Prozess begann am 25. Februar 2013 vor dem Bundesbezirksgericht in New Orleans. Die Klage der US-Regierung, der angrenzenden US-Bundesstaaten Alabama, Mississippi, Florida und Louisiana sowie verschiedener Kleinunternehmer und Einzelpersonen richtete sich gegen BP und die Subunternehmen Transocean und Halliburton. Anspruchsgrundlage war der Clean Water Act von 1972, nach dem sich die Schadenersatzansprüche nach der Schwere der Schuld und der Menge des ausgelaufenen Öls bemessen. (de)
- The civil and criminal proceedings stemming from the explosion of Deepwater Horizon and the resulting massive oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico began shortly after the April 20, 2010 incident and have continued since then. They have included an extensive claims settlement process for a guilty plea to criminal charges by BP, and an ongoing Clean Water Act lawsuit brought by the U.S. Department of Justice and other parties. A federal judge, ruling on the Clean Water Act suit in September 2014, found that BP was primarily responsible for the oil spill as a result of its deliberate misconduct and gross negligence. The finding means that the company may be subject to $18 billion in penalties in addition to the $28 billion already paid out in claims and cleanup costs. Such penalties are far larger than the $3.5 billion BP had allotted to the case, and could have grave implications for the company. (en)
