Hey z,
I see your point. I think that the larger a human bureaucracy is, the more hiding places for incompetent individuals, weather it's corporations or government. In addition, each bureaucracy has it's own culture.
BP has a dismal track record of maintenance in Alaska, and the morale of the workforce there is not good.
With so many regulatory agencies and rules to comply with, I am surprised BP is still in Alaska.
Historically they are used to going to 3rd world countries and greasing the palms of the local tyrants to get what they want. God Save the Queen!
Exxon and ConocoPhillips have a much better record of compliance and even initiate programs not required in order to be ahead of the curve. I will say that since the Exxon Valdez spill, Exxon has changed their corporate culture.
Can't speak about Shell.
This drilling approval came right from the Obama administration. They are left wing and have run roughshod over the right wing in congress to get what they want. On Arctic drilling, maybe they know something we don't.
As DMT has accurately and humorously put it: The spice must flow(at least while I am alive).

Again, I didn't say it, but that's a good line right there
