OFFSHORE PETROLEUM AND GREENHOUSE GAS STORAGE (RESOURCE MANAGEMENT AND ADMINISTRATION) REGULATIONS 2011 - REG 5.10

Revision based on circumstances

  (1)   A titleholder must submit to the Regulator a proposed revision of the well operations management plan that is in force for a well in the title area, before the start of any well activity that the plan as currently in force does not apply to.

Note:   A plan may have originally been submitted in part or only accepted in part: see regulations   5.06 and 5.07.

  (2)   A titleholder must (except when the Regulator has consented under subregulation   5.05(5)) submit to the Regulator a proposed revision of a well operations management plan that is in force for a well in the title area, before making a significant change to the manner in which risks to the integrity of the well are reduced to as low as reasonably practicable.

Note:   The titleholder must undertake activities in accordance with the well operations management plan in force for the well, except when the Regulator has consented to the titleholder undertaking an activity in a specified manner: see regulation   5.05.

  (3)   A titleholder must submit to the Regulator a proposed revision of a well operations management plan that is in force for a well in the title area:

  (a)   as soon as practicable after the integrity of the well becomes subject to a significant new risk or a significantly increased risk; or

  (b)   if NOPSEMA gives the titleholder a direction under section   574, 576B, 579A, 586 or 591B of the Act that is inconsistent with the plan; or

  (c)   if the responsible Commonwealth Minister has given the titleholder a direction under section   586A or 592 of the Act that is inconsistent with the plan.

Note:   If paragraph   (b) or (c) applies, the proposed revision will need to be consistent with the direction to be accepted--see subregulation   5.15(2).
