Fire burns on the partially collapsed Montara well head platform and the West Atlas mobile offshore drilling unit in the Timor Sea, about 250 km (155 miles) off the far north Kimberley coast of Western Australia state, in this November 3, 2009 handout picture.
A unit of top Thai energy firm PTTEP said on Tuesday it had stopped an oil leak and doused the main fire on the Montara and West Atlas oil rig which has been leaking for 10 weeks in the Timor Sea.
