What Australia Offshore Petroleum and Greenhouse Gas Storage Act 2006 Section 29 - Exploration Licence Grant Criteria and Conditions for Offshore Petroleum requires
The Offshore Petroleum and Greenhouse Gas Storage Act 2006 (OPGGSA) is the principal Commonwealth legislation governing petroleum exploration and production in Commonwealth offshore areas (beyond 3 nautical miles from the Australian coastline). Section 29 and related provisions govern the grant of exploration licences for petroleum exploration. Licences are granted by the National Offshore Petroleum Titles Administrator (NOPTA) on behalf of the Joint Authority (comprising the relevant Commonwealth and State/Territory Minister). The Act also covers greenhouse gas storage activities, safety case requirements administered by the National Offshore Petroleum Safety and Environmental Management Authority (NOPSEMA), and environmental plan obligations under the Offshore Petroleum and Greenhouse Gas Storage (Environment) Regulations 2023.
