This document is a Woodside Energy Group "First Priority" event investigation report (reference WELEV25010052) for the Minerva Field, under the Minerva Decommissioning business unit. It is not a NOPSEMA regulatory document as such, though it concerns an offshore petroleum facility. The event, occurring on 12 January 2025 and reported on 14 January 2025, involved the dislodgement and loss of a single plastic pipe bundle spacer into the marine environment from existing subsea infrastructure during sediment relocation in preparation for decommissioning. Recovery was attempted but deemed impracticable due to sea conditions and the greater safety risk to personnel. The event is classed as an actual environmental impact of minor severity under a waste event category, with the status recorded as closed. No causal or contributing factors were linked to foundations, and no key learnings are recorded. Attachments include incident and investigation notification files. No enforcement action or regulatory decision is recorded in the document.
