fuels such as coal and oil has driven the expansion and exploration for oil reserves in many of the worlds oceans including the coast of Western Australia. Whilst there is a strong push toward greener cleaner energy sources, the fossil fuel industry continues to draw on the support of the Australian Government and others, principally, due to the economic benefits and financial rewards for all. Australia has become extremely reliant on both imported and local sources of oil to fuel both commercial

The Montara Oil Spill On August 21, 2009 Australia was involved with one of the environment’s deadliest oil spills. The Montara oil spill emerged after a large blowout on the Montara wellhead platform situated off the Kimberley coast, 250 km north of Truscott airbase, and 690 km west of Darwin. Sixty-nine workers had to be successfully evacuated and removed from the drilling rig. The organisation PTT Exploration and Production Public Company Limited (PTTEP) responsible for the disaster, overall

in production is processed carefully and effectively yet, even with cautious dealings accidents occur which result in chaos. Similarly the Montara oil spill in 2009 caused chaos in the Timor Sea and its surrounding population immensely. On 21st August 2009 Australia witnessed one of its worst oil disasters, an oil and gas leak that occurred in the Montara oil field in the Timor Sea.

The oil and refined products are a mixture of various hydrocarbons and other compounds whose physical and chemical properties vary; during an oil spill, the composite determines the behavior and impact on the environmental elements such as physical, biological, ecosystem, and the economical impact. During this Case Study I will continue to discuss the characteristics of each affected ecosystem including organisms commonly found in the Deepwater Horizon Spill affected area, potential threats based

the acquisition of the vast oil field at Prudhoe Bay, Alaska. This acquisition represented a good increase in the percentage of oil production in the United States and ensured that the company could increase its production and further its goals and objectives for the United States market.

The oil and gas industry has been largely dependent on the collaboration between oil and gas companies and governments represented by environmental and regulatory agencies. This collaboration has been in place to regulate the practices and to protect the environment around the field operations sites. Some of the environmental agencies roles in the oil and gas industry includes: • The design of safety procedures and drills. • The implementation of these procedures to ensure they’re respected and carried
