Australia’s National Offshore Petroleum Safety & Environmental Management Authority has rejected an application by PTTEP to drill a new production well at the Montara oil field off the coast of Western Australia. The regulator expressed concern about the environmental impact of the proposed oil well, as well as aspects of the Thai company’s environmental plan. There was a major oil spill at the Montara field in 2009.
