Blowout Preventer (BOP) made by Cameron International for Deepwater Horizon

Cameron International Corporation, formerly Cooper Cameron, is the second-largest U.S. maker of oilfield equipment. Cameron International Corp. is a leading manufacturer of oil and gas pressure control equipment, including valves, wellheads, controls, chokes, blowout preventers and assembled systems for oil and gas drilling, production and transmission used in onshore, offshore and subsea applications, and provides oil and gas separation, metering and flow measurement equipment.

Cameron International Corporation is currently under fire for its involvement with the recent Transocean Oil Rig Explosion in the Gulf Coast. Cameron International was the manufacturer and provider of the blowout preventer (BOP) that failed on the Transocean Deepwater Horizon oil rig. The equipment on Deepwater Horizon was provided by Cameron International when the rig was built in 2001.

During this time period, Cooper Cameron was in the process of restructuring the organization to create three distinct business segments, with a focus on streamlining the company’s processes.
