Two months after it began spewing oil and gas into the Timor Sea, the great leak on the West Atlas rig has finally been plugged, after thousands of tonnes were pumped into a relief well.
400 barrels of oil have leaked into the Timor Sea every day for the past eight weeks, and the Australian government says there will be a full, independent inquiry.
