Australia halts Santos drilling campaign

Monday, May 12 2025

Fossil Energy – Barossa Gas Field

Australia’s offshore energy regulator has halted Santos drilling campaign at the Barossa gas field over concerns regarding the safety of drilling equipment.

The prohibition notice issued by NOPSEMA came after inspectors identified issues with the blowout preventer (BOP) system, which was prompted by safety concerns on the Valaris MS-1 platform.
