    The document discusses expert opinions on the Deepwater Horizon incident and BOP failure. It lists whether various companies and individuals had prior experience in the oil and gas industry, with BOPs specifically, or any BOP design patents. It finds that most parties had extensive prior experience in the industry and familiarity with BOPs, but none of the involved companies held BOP design patents. The pipe was off-center during the blind shear ram attempt and failed to fully seal. Tensile failure and erosion later caused the pipe to separate above the upper annular.
