Australia to investigate PTTEP's Timor Sea oil, gas leak

摘要

Sydney-Australia November 5 released the details of a Commission of Inquiry into the oil and gas leak that began August 21 from PTT Exploration and Production's Montara wellhead platform in the Timor Sea. The leak continued unabated for 10 weeks, eventually causing the drilling rig West Atlas to catch fire. Several attempts to "kill" the well were made by the Thai state-owned upstream company over recent weeks, but the leak was not successfully stopped until November 3 (ON 11/4).
