This handwritten meeting note records a October 2025 Teams discussion between NOPSEMA and the Department of Climate Change, Energy, Environment and Water (DCCEEW) regarding hazardous waste management for offshore petroleum operations. The meeting addressed Santos' proposed approach to dispose of Flexible Riser Storage Objects (FRSO) following the departure of a named vessel (NV) from the field in August 2025. Key outcomes include: DCCEEW confirmed they would provide advice to Santos on hazardous waste export requirements and international chemicals/waste protocols; NOPSEMA confirmed that Santos' disposal approach must be identified in future Corporate Operating Plans (COP) Environment Plans; and both agencies noted jurisdictional limitations regarding vessel decommissioning and refitting facilities. The discussion reflected coordination between regulators on compliance with environmental plan requirements and hazardous waste management obligations.
