I thought cementing filled the annular between a casing and the borehole?


The annular is short for Annular blowout preventer. It does close off the annulus. (Space between the casing and outside of the drill string) If there is no drill pipe or tubing string across the annular preventer, it will close to seal the whole area. (Hole)

Only with the spill and the cleanup, not the accident. With the accident only time will tell


It's BPs responsibility to inform the drilling company of what type of reservoir pressures and gas charged zones they are going to be dealing with. If they underestimated what they were going to be dealing with inthe subsurface than thats on the operator.
