abc.net.au/news/santos-confirms-cooper-basin-pipeline-explosion-agm-protests/102197880Oil and gas company Santos has confirmed a pipeline in South Australia exploded in January, as Aboriginal traditional owners walked out of a heated Annual General Meeting in Adelaide.
"Unfortunately we do have incidents from time to time in our industry and we have a lot of old infrastructure," he said."We're currently investigating the root cause of that and sometimes the metallurgical studies that you have to go through can take a little bit of time." "Repairs were completed in around a week, and an additional fortnight of testing and inspections ensured the integrity of the entire pipeline.""Under the Act, SANTOS is required to submit a report to the Department for Energy and Mining any relevant incident that occurs within three months of the occurrence," it said in a statement.
Tom Koutsantonis says the state government doesn't publicly report incidents unless there is an "impact". Extinction Rebellion protesters who were gathered outside the Adelaide Convention Centre cheered and applauded the groups as they entered the meeting.The question section of the AGM was largely dominated by the Indigenous representatives, who expressed anger at many of Santos gas projects, including the Barossa gas field north-west of Darwin and the Narrabri project in western New South Wales.
"It seems like a fluff fest of making their shareholders feel good about their money, that's what it felt like in there, they don't actually give you any answers at all," she said.
It was the Russians
OMG fined them out of existence!
They need to be fined and taxed properly
Did Santos really confirm an 'explosion'? Or is that misinformation?
Got to keep the gas prices high
