Sounds like the cement job was unsufficent to hold the formation back due to them not wanting to damage the reservoir. May have caused a serious downhole kick where the formation came in on them and this may have been bad enough to erode the rubbers on the BOP making them unable to seal off the well.
Definitely cement job has come into play but the kick is what baffles me.....A kick that large just all of a sudden?

This is a horrible tragedy and it depresses me, but, along with my grief and worry, I find myself fascinated by the extensive technology of the rigs AND the very unique geological forces and structures involved in harvesting oil and natural gas.
