CLOSED CONSULTATION
This consultation, which is now closed, sought comments on the Oil & Gas Authority’s intended proposal to the Secretary of State Business, Energy & Industrial Strategy (BEIS) to change the Model Clauses for Seaward Production Licences. Changes to the Model Clauses are proposed in order to introduce a single type of Seaward Production Licence that provides flexibility for all potential applicants for Seaward Production licences. Several other changes to Seaward Production Licences were also proposed, as detailed further in the Consultation Document. The changes to the Model Clauses are proposed to apply for the 30th Seaward Licensing Round onwards.
The OGA invited written views and comments on the proposed changes, to be made by 17:00, 6 January 2017.
