The National Offshore Petroleum Safety Authority (NOPSA) has sent two senior health and safety inspectors to Varanus Island, off the Northwest Shelf, to investigate a major incident involving a gas pipeline rupture and subsequent fire.
NOPSA will carry out an investigation in conjunction with the WA Department of Industry and Resources (DOIR).
