Sydney, Australia – A leaked document from oil company Equinor, obtained by Greenpeace Australia Pacific, reveals previously unreleased oil spill modelling that shows an oil spill in the Great Australian Bight could reach even farther north than Sydney and surrounding beaches, coating thousands of kilometres of Australian coastline as well as the Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Area.

BP plan to drill in Great Australian Bight risked 750km oil spill, documents show This article is more than 1 year old Under company modelling major spill would pollute beaches and could disrupt An oil spill from BP’s planned drilling in the Great Australian Bight could affect most of Australia’s southern coastline, shutting down fisheries and threatening wildlife including whales A spill catastrophe of the scale seen in the Gulf of Mexico would be disastrous for the marine life of the Great Australian Bight and marine industries (particularly fishing and tourism) across southern Australia. Given the lack of information provided to the public by BP during their consultation phase, independent expert oil spill modelling New worst-case oil spill modelling shows a potential spill from a proposed project in the Great Australian Bight is almost certain to hit some of South Australia's biggest tourism and aquaculture

Equinor's own modelling showed that a worse-case scenario oil spill in the bight would see oil stretching as far west as Albany in Western Australia, to Port Macquarie in New South Wales.

Sydney, Australia – A leaked document from oil company Equinor, obtained by Greenpeace Australia Pacific, reveals previously unreleased oil spill modelling that shows an oil spill in the Great Australian Bight could reach even farther north than Sydney and surrounding beaches, coating thousands of kilometres of Australian coastline as well as the Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Area. If an oil spill happened in the Great Australian Bight, it could reach as far east as Port Macquarie's beaches, two thirds of the way up the New South Wales coast, according to a leaked draft environment plan obtained by the ABC. Oil spilled from a well blowout in the Great Australian Bight could reach a wide stretch of the southern Australian coastline, new modelling has revealed. BP has proposed drilling two exploration A Deepwater Horizon-style spill in the Great Australian Bight could take more than six months to control and would spread oil for thousands of kilometres, ­including to Kangaroo Island and the mainland, BP’s modelling has shown. BP spill would be a ‘disaster’ for bight, says modelling Graham Lloyd, 9 October 2015 A catastrophic failure of BP’s proposed $1 billion deep-sea oil drilling program in the Great Australian Bight could affect important whale nurseries and shut fishing grounds as far away as the Tasman Sea, according to independent modelling.

If an oil spill happened in the Great Australian Bight, it could reach as far east as Port Macquarie's beaches, two thirds of the way up the New South Wales coast, according to a leaked draft environment plan obtained by the ABC.
