Australia Update
September 11, 2010 by offshoreenergy
- NOPSA has issued an excellent Health and Safety Performance Report for Australian offshore operations. Here’s the link.
- BOE fave Martin Ferguson has retained his energy post in the new government. We trust that he will release the Montara Inquiry report without further delay.
- Per Upstream, the destroyed West Atlas jackup rig is being removed from the Montara wellhead platform in the Timor Sea, and all wells have been secured with barriers. In light of the lessons learned at Montara, can we assume that corrosion caps and well fluids are not being counted as barriers? What is next for the Montara? Will PTTEP be authorized to resume development of the field? Should they be?
