Background
The Beharra Springs Pipeline and associated development of the Beharra Springs gas field development are currently owned by Beach Energy Ltd and AWE Ltd. Origin Energy operated the pipeline and gas plant, but it is presumed that at least as of 2022 Beach Energy operates all Beharra Springs assets.[1][4][3]
Accident
In January 2017, whistleblower Sally McDow, former senior manager of compliance at Origin Energy, revealed a December 2013 "incident" that occurred at the Beharra Springs Redback South Well #1 near Perth in 2013. According to McDow, senior managers were told at a meeting that the incident was the worst the chief executive of Origin's Upstream Division had seen in his 35 years in the oil and gas industry. The explosion could have caused multiple deaths and was the result of about 13 systemic issues which had been ignored by management in audits and reports over about 10 years.[5]
