LONDON, April 21 (Reuters) - BP Plc (BP.L) has filed a lawsuit against Halliburton, the company which cemented the blown out well which caused the Gulf of Mexico oil spill, saying Halliburton concealed critical information which could have prevented the disaster.
"Halliburton's improper conduct, errors and omissions, including fraud and concealment, caused and/or contributed to the Deepwater Horizon incident," BP said in a court filing.
"Halliburton knew and understood it was misrepresenting material information," BP added.
The suit was filed on Wednesday, one year to the day after the Deepwater Horizon rig exploded, killing 11 men. On Wednesday, BP also filed a $40 billion lawsuit against rig operator Transocean (RIGN.VX)(RIG.N)
