Thailand’s PTT Exploration & Production Pcl said a blazing oil rig off northwest Australia may collapse into the Timor Sea. The rig sits above a well that has been leaking oil and gas for the last 10 weeks. The Montara well is in waters 80 metres deep, in an area described as one of the world’s last true wilderness areas, due in part to the humpback whales. See previous coverage in the UN Atlas.
