PETROLEUM TECHNICAL ADVICE AUSTRALIA

Documentation required in meeting regulatory requirements for exploration permits covers the range from that needed in bidding for exploration acreage, data management plans, and applications relating to exploration activities and their timing, and surrender of part or all of the permit. Conversion from the permit to production licence or retention lease requires documentation for  licence or lease applications, followed by applications for major changes and renewals. 

Carbon sequestration legislation parallels petroleum exploration and production legislation and will require similar documentary support to address its various phases.  Petroleum taxation is a component of petroleum business and needs advice in clarifying requirements and seeking improvements.

Challenges in retaining the standard of petroleum regulatory structures and processes are inherent in various forms of government, including the Westminister form of government in Australia. Failures in governance can risk loss of industry confidence in regulation and threaten investment; failures can also risk public confidence in an industry and public willingness to allow particular industry activities to be undertaken or continue. 

Assessments of current petroleum sector governance to identify impediments to the achievement of objectives at each stage in the discovery, development and production of petroleum can lead to the identification of implementable solutions.

Studies are a component of planning exploration, production or carbon sequestration activites. The studies assist in defining and refining targets for exploration of carbon sequestration, retaining environmental values and optimizing resource production.
