Montara Gas Release Issues

• Primary cementing
• Inadequate barriers
• Management System failures

– Risk Assessment – Communications – Records Management – Executive oversight

• Drilling Contractor-Leaseholder

Interface

Potential implications

• For industry

Loss of community trust Insurance & liability Ability of smaller companies & minor partners to pay & survive Which entity is ultimately responsible for safety ???

• For government & regulators

Independence of safety regulator Regulatory capture Performance based vs prescriptive requirements Quality of staff / challenge / inspection
