Northern Endeavour oil vessel without power for weeks in Timor Sea
The blackout is another problem in a clean-up effort of an ex-Woodside vessel that will cost Australia's oil and gas producers well over $1 billion.
The Department of Energy, Mines, Industry Regulation and Safety oversees workplace health and safety in WA and NOPSEMA is responsible for offshore workers in Commonwealth waters.
The blackout is another problem in a clean-up effort of an ex-Woodside vessel that will cost Australia's oil and gas producers well over $1 billion.
A vital blow-out preventer failed testing, leading to an "immediate threat" to offshore workers.
After numerous safety incidents a McDermott heavy lift vessel left without completing work at Woodside's Stybarrow field.
A union leader said it was horrifying to see management receive full marks for personal safety after incidents almost tripled in four years.
There are serious concerns about lifting equipment and procedures on McDermott's offshore construction vessel DLV 2000 which is decommissioning the Stybarrow oil field near Ningaloo Reef.
The 2022 incident is one of many at Alcoa's three refineries that are under an increased level of surveillance from the work safety regulator.
Two Woodside offshore workers were injured when a 500kg load fell after a lifting appliance with unapproved modifications failed but Woodside reported only one injury to the safety regulator.
Terrifying video shows an offshore lift that went badly wrong off the WA coast in early July endangering workers hanging off a platform and those on the vessel.
Woodside has found corrosion during a shutdown of the North West Shelf's LNG Train 4 that potentially is a serious concern. It is understood Woodside is now inspecting other trains for the problem.
A Federal Government review of safety in offshore oil and gas recommends more focus on design changes, diving and mental health and greater input from workers.
Woodside must check if corrosion on fourteen 24-tonne caissons under an offshore platform could cause them to fall onto subsea pipelines with possibly catastrophic results.
Bass Strait partners ExxonMobil and BHP must plug 180 wells, dismantle ten platforms and tackle life-threatening corrosion after intervention by offshore safety regulator NOPSEMA.
