The rig which began leaking oil on August 21 has since spewed between 400 and 2,000 barrels of crude into the Timor Sea each day.
SYDNEY, November 01 (SPA) - An oil rig operated by a unit of top Thai energy firm PTTEP in the Timor Sea, which has been leaking for 10 weeks, caught fire on Sunday, officials said.
Amid a fourth attempt to plug the 64-day-old leak at the Montara drilling rig, the spill, which has already spread over an area 10 times the size of London, continued to expand at the rate of 300 barrels of oil a day in an area of the Timor Sea famed for its marine reserves and coral, the fund said in a statement.
