Guidelines for the Petroleum and Geothermal Energy Resource (Resource Management and Administration) Regulations 2014 The objective-based approach the WMP regime as outlined in Part 3.1 of these guidelines also applies to FDPs. 4.2 SCOPE The Act should be consulted in the first instance as the binding legislative instrument encompassing the State petroleum regulatory framework. Production licences are granted under the Act while the regulations provide an objective-based system for the resource management and administration of State petroleum activities. This guideline allows for consideration of applications on a case-by- case basis consistent with the Act and regulations. Baseline groundwater monitoring The Petroleum and Geothermal Energy Resources (Resource Management) Regulations 2014 include baseline groundwater monitoring requirements in relation to: - the Field Development Plan under r.48(1) in relation to petroleum activities; and - the Geothermal Energy Recovery Development Plan under r.65 in relation to geothermal activities. Baseline groundwater monitoring may also be required at the exploration phase of a petroleum activity depending on the nature and location of the proposal. If required, this would be addressed in the environment plan for the activity in accordance with the Petroleum and Geothermal Energy Resources (Environment) Regulations 2012 r.14. A guideline for Baseline Groundwater Monitoring for the onshore petroleum industry is also shortly to be released. This Guideline will be issued by the Department of Mines and Petroleum in early 2014. It aims to establish leading practice requirements for baseline groundwater monitoring for onshore petroleum activities in Western Australia. This purpose of this Guideline is to: • identify situations where baseline groundwater monitoring is required for onshore petroleum activities; and • ii) outline the general requirements and considerations for undertaking baseline groundwater monitoring. Field development plan means a technical document outlining the proposed petroleum development and reservoir management that is submitted by a production licence applicant or a production licensee for approval by the Minister. A preliminary version of the field development plan, which outlines the proposed petroleum development and reservoir management, is usually provided by the proponent prior to the submission of a production licence application and the final version of the field development plan. 4.2.1 ROLE OF GOVERNMENT The Act and associated regulations provide the stage process for the approval of a petroleum development which involves: • approval of a field development plan; and • the grant of a production licence. The recommended practice is to begin the field development plan phase first through submission of a preliminary field development plan, followed by submission of the production licence application and the final field development plan. Diagrams 2 and 3 provides flowcharts of the relevant approval processes. However, this process can also progress in parallel. It should be noted that only a production licence holder or an applicant for a production licence can apply to the Department for approval of a field development plan. In addition to the grant of a production licence, the approval of a field development plan by the Department must be obtained prior to undertaking operations for the recovery of petroleum in a production licence area. Where there is more than one petroleum pool in a title area, additional field development plans may be required to be submitted to the Department prior to commencing production from those pools. 4.3 FIELD DEVELOPMENT PLAN REQUIREMENTS A licensee must seek the Department’s approval of a field development plan prior to undertaking the recovery of petroleum in a production licence area. The field development plan should at a minimum address the content outlined in Regulation 48 of the RMA Regulations and section 5.3.2 of this guideline. This is not an exhaustive list and proponents are encouraged to provide as much relevant information as possible to support the proposed development. Once all relevant information has been received to assist in the assessment of a field development plan, the Department must either approve, reject the field development plan or request further information to be included. The approval of a field development plan consists of two stages, namely the submission of a preliminary field development plan followed by the submission and approval of a final field development plan. A field development plan is submitted to achieve: • a clear understanding by the Department of the proponent’s early plans for the development; • a process of early and rapid feedback to the proponent from the Department concerning any deficiencies in the plan; • a clear understanding by the proponent of those areas where the Department considers that changes need to be made to the proponent’s plans (studies, analyses, reports and primary data); • agreement between the Department and the proponent on a schedule for the provision of further information to be provided by the proponent, and the sequence and timing of subsequent statutory approvals; • a final field development plan for the licence area is submitted to enable the proper review of the proposed petroleum development and reservoir management in the licence area; • the Department must approve a field development plan where the plan demonstrates that the proponent will conduct pool management in a manner that is consistent with good oil field practice and compatible with the optimum long-term recovery of petroleum; • the final field development plan will generally be similar to the preliminary field development plan, but with the necessary changes in agreement with the Department; www.dmp.wa.gov.au | 9PDF Image | Western Australia Guidelines for Geothermal Energy Resource
