NEW ORLEANS (AP) - Halliburton is defending itself against allegations by BP that it intentionally destroyed damaging evidence about the quality of its cement slurry that went into drilling an oil well that blew out in the Gulf of Mexico last year, killing 11 workers and resulting in the nation's worst offshore oil spill.
Halliburton called the accusations untrue and said it was reviewing BP's allegations.
In a statement Tuesday, the company said it believes the conclusions that BP "is asking the court to draw are without merit."
It declined to go into more detail about its objections.
