Title Could oil rigs be good for the ocean? Degree of recognition National Media name/outlet ABC program 'The Signal' Media type Radio Duration/Length/Size 17mins 25sec Country/Territory Australia Date 23/07/21 Description More than a thousand oil and gas wells off the Australian coastline are nearing the end of their lives.
Once they're decommissioned, it'll fall to the extractive industries to foot the $50 billion clean-up bill.
There is a cheaper alternative though: for half the price, they can leave everything more or less exactly where it is.
