Description

These Guiding Principles are an interim measure and set out the minimum expectations of how industry will conduct itself while a comprehensive review of the Northern Territory’s existing regulatory framework is undertaken. The review will examine the Petroleum Act and relevant statutes to identify options on how best to establish a contemporary leading practice regulatory framework to govern the exploration, production and rehabilitation activities of the Northern Territory’s onshore oil and gas industry; Made available via the Publications (Legal Deposit) Act 2004 (NT).

Notes

These principles will be utilised by the Department of Mines and Energy (DME) with the granting of future petroleum exploration and production licences being assessed and evaluated on the alignment of their application with these guiding principles.
