I know how to use a hammer, but can't build a house
Just because you know the equipment doesn't mean you can use it properly. If this -- http://www.theoildrum.com/node/6493 -- is right, the well plan was wrong. And it's wrong in the same way lots of well plans are probably wrong. But ...
Similar or identical plans were undoubtedly approved and used by many operators on other wells drilled in the Gulf of Mexico. A plan that does not include enough cement to overlap the final and previous casing strings, and that does not require running a cement-bond log to ensure the integrity of the seal is a defective plan. The fact that there have not been blowouts on previous wells does not justify the approval and use of an unsafe plan. --

and I said that from the get go
using seawater to replace drilling mud at that depth is wrong, the folks who made the decision own that decision.
