Equinor澳大利亚勘探项目通过审批

中国石化新闻网讯 据油田技术12月18日报道，澳大利亚国家海洋石油安全与环境管理局(NOPSEMA)已经接受了Equinor公司在大澳大利亚湾进行石油勘探的计划，这是项目施工开始前需要获得的四项批准中的第二项。

2011年，国家海洋石油产权管理局和由联邦和州政府资源部长组成的部长级联合管理局授予大澳大利亚湾地区活动的勘探权，这是该项目首次获批。

根据联邦法律，能源公司必须拥有石油所有权、公认的环境计划、油井运营管理计划和设施安全案例，才能从事海上油气活动。

Australia's offshore regulator gives second of four approvals for Equinor exploration project

The National Offshore Petroleum Safety and Environmental Management Authority (NOPSEMA) has accepted Equinor’s environment plan for exploratory petroleum drilling in the Great Australian Bight, which represents the second of four approvals required before activity can commence.

The first approval was granted in 2011 when the National Offshore Petroleum Titles Administrator and the Ministerial Joint Authority, comprising federal and state government resources ministers, granted an exploration title for activity in the Bight.

Under Commonwealth legislation, energy companies must have a petroleum title, an accepted environment plan, well operations management plan and facility safety case before they can undertake any offshore oil and gas activity.
