NOPSEMA conducted a petroleum environmental inspection of Schlumberger's Otway Basin 2DMC marine seismic survey (December 16-17, 2019) covering three titleholder permits (Vic-01-SPA, T-01-SPA, SA-05-SPA). The exit brief outlines three inspection focus areas: environment management processes for acoustic disturbance in accordance with a previous limitation decision; ongoing consultation arrangements with relevant persons including southern bluefin tuna operators and industry associations; and biosecurity/biofouling risk assessment implementation. The inspection team confirmed these areas would be detailed in a draft inspection report to be issued within two weeks, with no new information accepted after the exit brief date.
