Shell has dragged resources giants Woodside and Paladin Resources to court after being lumped with an $86.5 million clean-up bill for the Northern Endeavour oil platform, claiming the bill should never have been its to pay.
According to a writ lodged in the WA Supreme Court, Shell claims it was forced to pay assessment notices issued by the Australian Taxation Office in 2023 and 2024 totalling $86.5 million in February 2024.
Shell claims both Woodside and Paladin were to reimburse Shell for any claims arising from or in connection with the venture. Woodside and Paladin bought Shell out before handing the floating rig to Perth-based company Northern Oil and Gas Australia in 2015.
