Gas giant Santos will pay just under $20,000 in penalties for its role in an oil spill off Western Australia's Pilbara coastline.
About 25,000 litres of oil condensate was released into the Indian Ocean when one of the company's flexible oil pipelines ruptured off the Pilbara coast in March 2022.
At a hearing in Karratha on Monday, Magistrate Robert Young found the company breached the WA Petroleum (Submerged Lands) Act 1982, handing Santos a $10,000 fine and ordering it to pay court costs of $9,700.
It is the first time a company has been fined under section 97(4) of the act, which states licensees "shall prevent the waste or escape of petroleum" and carries a maximum penalty of $50,000 for corporations.
what a pathetic load of horse shit. Santos would pay that amount from petty cash.
WA's Department of Energy, Mines, Industry Regulation and Safety (DEMIRS) what a mindless toothless F tiger
