Company says cap left off leaking well

The Thai-based company behind an oil spill in the Timor Sea has revealed, ahead of a federal government inquiry, that a containment cap was not installed at a well that spewed oil for more than 10 weeks.


"When the work on the wells recommenced in August 2009, PTTEP discovered that the 340mm pressure-containing corrosion cap required by the drilling program had not been installed during the suspension of the H1 Well in March 2009," the company's submission says.
