Woodside’s Browse gas project is under fire for its risky oil spill plans, with critics slamming the company’s overly optimistic assessments and outdated tech—especially near the ecologically sensitive Kimberley coast. Simulations warn of spills far worse than Montara, potentially devastating reefs, marine parks, and Indigenous lands stretching to Indonesia. While Woodside touts advanced safety gear like shear rams, experts doubt their reliability, citing past failures and slow deployment of capping stacks and relief wells—even Woodside’s own review flagged delays. Local fishers and businesses fear economic collapse if disaster strikes. Environmental groups demand full transparency as federal investigations loom, and a final decision on this billion-dollar project hangs in the balance by year’s end.
