- (o) In accordance with the legislation, prior to the authorization of any petroleum-related activities on the Lands, the operator must demonstrate to the satisfaction of the Board that such activities can be conducted in an environmentally safe manner. Special precautions, such as enhanced environmental assessments, more stringent mitigation measures and environmental effects monitoring may be required in some cases.
- (p) Before carrying out any work or activity in the offshore area, an operator must first obtain an Operating Licence.
- (q) No activities related to the exploration for, development of, or transportation of petroleum on the Lands can be conducted without a specific authorization issued by the Board. Operators are required to meet certain regulatory requirements before the Board can approve offshore petroleum–related activities. The regulatory framework that governs offshore petroleum operations consists of the legislation, its regulations, and Board guidelines and policies.
