"This is part of a systemically important issue for the oceans and for the oil and gas industry. We're talking about a multi billion dollar decommissioning liability of the oil and gas industry that they're not properly facing up to." In 2021, NOPSEMA took compliance action against Woodside due to the company being "unable to comply with an originally approved plan to remove equipment for onshore disposal".
Woodside's revised plan for the Nganhurra RTM is to sink it to make an artificial reef, according to a NOPSEMA report from 2021.In response to questions from the ABC, a NOPSEMA spokesperson said potential contaminants in the sunken Griffin RTM include two compartments that contain high-density and low-density polyurethane foam, plus some plastics and an epoxy coating.
