Austrian oil company OMV proceeding with plans to drill off Otago coast
An oil giant claims the risk of discharging a harmful substance off New Zealand's southern coast is "negligible".
Earlier this year OMV submitted a consent application to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to discharge an unnamed harmful substance within the Great South Basin.
The application to discharge trace amounts of the substance from the deck drains of a mobile offshore drilling unit has prompted a three-day hearing, which started in Dunedin on Tuesday morning.
