Transocean owned the rig, 100%. BP ran it. I'm pretty much positive Chevron had no interest in it (could be wrong), but they do run a lot of rigs in the Gulf. What you've heard may be the talk recently about BP and Chevron's safety records on those rigs. Here's a pretty good article on it from the Houston Chronicle: http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/...n/7039960.html

A lot of people are boycotting BP now, but I don't think I'll do that (not that I go there much to begin with), just because whatever other company you buy from is going to be just as bad.
