Description	Pilot Energy planned to buy out Triangle Energy's stake in the mothballed Cliff Head oil field in the Perth Basin, Western Australia, with intentions to convert it into a carbon capture and storage (CCS) facility. The project received a $6.5 million grant from the Commonwealth Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water. However, Pilot Energy went into administration and failed to secure the required funding, leaving concerns about the decommissioning and clean-up costs of the oil platform.
