The West Atlas incident highlighted the multinational aspects of offshore oil and gas activity in the Indo-Pacific. The incident occurred in Australia’s jurisdiction and was perpetrated by a Thai-based company, with part of the spill extending into Indonesian waters. Indonesian government’s attempts to pursue damage claims against the Thai company are ongoing. It has experienced considerable difficulty due to the multijurisdictional nature of the incident.
