However, an attorney for rig owner Transocean Ltd. asked Probert if he was angry when he learned in 2012 that "evidence had been destroyed." "Yes," Probert said. "Obviously, it doesn't make you feel happy." A plaintiffs' attorney who questioned Probert earlier Monday claimed Halliburton employees conducted "off-the-rec-ord" cement tests and didn't write down some test results because they feared how they could affect litigation spawned by the nation's worst offshore oil spill.

In a December 2011 court filing, BP accused Halliburton of intentionally destroying evidence from its cement testing. BP said Halliburton employee Rickey Morgan analyzed a cement slurry with the same composition as the foam slurry that was pumped at the Macondo well and verbally reported the results to a supervisor in 2010. "He testified that the slurry 'looked which he explained implied lower-than-expect- ed viscosity, a property that reflects how stable the slurry is when mixed and pumped into the well," BP attorneys wrote. "Significantly and remarkably, Mr. Morgan admitted under oath that he 'threw out' the slurry samples he tested because he was 'worried about' those materials 'being misinterpreted in the "I didn't know about any of the alleged testing until some considerable time after my testimony," said Probert, now Halliburton's president of strategy and corporate development.
