There are thousands of wells in the Gulf many of them deep water. Across the globe there are many deep water wells. Also national standards differ. The reason this is not interesting is because these companies can simply say they met or exceeded our US standards, and "we" don't have a legitimate response. We already know BP is responsible, we know what we think happened, we know what we think failed and there is no evidence that standards were not met. This is simply an exercise put on by people with no expertise with CEO's so far removed from what happened that they have nothing of value to say.
What would have been interesting would have been a hearing before the accident discussing the standards, or a hearing on preventing the next disaster.
