Woodside Energy Ltd reported a recordable environmental incident during seismic surveying activities at the Babylon and Centaurus 3D project in April 2014. On 15 April 2014, an Acoustic Ranging System Streamer Device (105 cm length, 9.4 cm diameter) fitted with a lithium battery was lost during retrieval of streamers for maintenance aboard the Polarcus Alima seismic vessel. The loss breached Performance Objective 5.4.3, which prohibits incidents of streamer grounding or permanent loss of towed equipment during surveys. The device could not be recovered. Woodside replaced the equipment and determined no further preventative action was necessary, characterizing the incident as infrequent. This was the final report for the activity.
