Statute overview

About this statute

This Act requires regulatory approval for oil and gas work, limits pipeline transactions without leave, and lets the Regulator manage licences, authorizations, delegation, and enforcement. Development and authorization approvals are conditional on prior approvals and required filings. This provision lets the Regulator disclose petroleum information only under stated confidentiality conditions, requires certain pipeline holders to keep and produce records, limits toll charges to filed or approved tariffs, and gives the Regulator control over tariff timing and gas-pipeline orders. This provision lets officials make oil and gas regulations, and sets rules for spills, waste, financial responsibility, orders, appeals, and inquiries. This part defines pooling and unitization terms and sets rules for when oil and gas production or operations may happen in shared spacing or unit areas.
