<p>The Australian government has blamed the rig operator for the country&#8217;s worst oil spill.</p>
<p>Resources minister Martin Ferguson told parliament a government report found that PTTEP Australasia, a unit of Thailand&#8217;s PTT Exploration &#038; Production, did not observe sensible oil field or government-approved practices at the West Atlas rig and Montara wellhead platform off the north-west coast.</p>
<p>The platform in the Timor Sea began leaking in August last year and more than 400 barrels of oil a day stained the coasts of Indonesia and East Timor before mud pumped through a relief well shut off the deepwater spigot 11 weeks later.</p>
