The Australian Government invites feedback on the exposure draft of the remake of the Offshore Petroleum and Greenhouse Gas Storage (Safety) Regulations 2009. These regulations expire on 1 April 2026, and updates are being made to ensure the regime remains effective and aligned with best regulatory practices. The objectives include: • implementing outcomes from a review of the safety regime for offshore oil and gas workers in Commonwealth waters • aligning the regulations with the Offshore Petroleum and Greenhouse Gas Storage Act 2006 • modernising the provisions and language to reflect current standards. The Government is holding an information session on Thursday 19 September from 2:30 to 4:30 pm AEST to discuss the changes to the Safety Regulations. Register your interest here https://buff.ly/4edsHCY Click on the link to read more about the proposed amendments. Have your say before Wednesday, 2 October 2024. https://buff.ly/3MGYssA #OffshorePetroleum #GreenhouseGas #Safety #OilandGas

In this article, TEMPLARS Partner, Yemisi Awonuga, and Associate, Adebimpe Mosanya (Beetee), discuss the Midstream Gas Flare Regulations issued by the Nigerian Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority (NMDPRA). Gas flaring and venting have plagued the Nigerian gas market and the environment for eons due to (i) the dearth of regulations that disincentivise flaring, and (ii) the absence of a robust and implementable program for the monetisation of midstream flare gas. These harmful practices of flaring and venting continue to contribute to environmental degradation and waste of valuable energy resources. Admirably, the Flare Regulations mark a significant advancement in regulatory oversight. They establish guidelines and limits for gas flaring and venting and introduce a comprehensive framework for improved monitoring, accountability, and enforcement. This regulatory intervention is a critical enabler for behavioral re-orientation through the adoption of sustainable practices aligning with Nigeria’s ambitious goal of achieving its net-zero emission target.

1️⃣0️⃣1️⃣ in 101 Words: What is Gathering and Boosting? The onshore petroleum and natural gas gathering and boosting (G&B) segment means gathering pipelines and other equipment to collect oil and/or natural gas from onshore wells and compress, dehydrate, sweeten, or transport the oil and/or natural gas to a processing facility, transmission pipeline or to a distribution pipeline. Equipment typically includes gathering pipelines, separators, compressors, acid gas removal units, dehydrators, pneumatic devices/pumps, storage vessels, engines, boilers, heaters, and flares. The Waste Emissions Charge [https://lnkd.in/e8ccqv7J] applies a fee for methane emissions in excess of 0.05% of natural gas sent to sale from or through the G&B facility. #WasteEmissionsCharge #IRA #Oilandgasindustry 📸: US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)

Our team at MHT is ready to help you navigate the new and upcoming methane regulations. Reach out to learn about how we can help you stay on track with all the upcoming changes!
NSPS Subpart OOOOb/OOOOc, GHGRP Subpart W, and the pending WEC rule are all designed to reduce methane emissions from the oil and gas sector. The rules are coming fast with interrelated requirements that can (perhaps likely will) introduce regulatory and financial risks to operators. The applicability of the new regulations will need to be determined for each operator’s systems; strategic planning and implementation of compliance programs (including equipment changes) can minimize operational and financial disruptions. MHT can assist you in determining applicability and, if necessary, collaborate with your team in developing a customized compliance plan reducing risks for your assets. From guidance and updates, to Subpart W monitoring plans, to desktop or in-depth site audits for each requirement in the new rules, MHT is ready to provide the support and knowledge you need. Email info@mhtconsulting.us to learn more about MHT and how our team of professionals can help your compliance assurance efforts. https://lnkd.in/gkPaWYGb

Sometime last week, a spill from the Obolo-Ogale pipeline, operated by one of Shell’s subsidiaries was detected by the local communities in Rivers State. The leak from the pipeline occurred following a maintenance work carried out on the facility sometime in December. These communities which are part of Shell's right of way have reported the incidence to the National Oil Spill Detection & Response Agency (NOSDRA). Leakages and spills of hydrocarbons may occur while carrying out upstream or midstream operations. Such leaks or spills may result from breaks in ageing or poorly maintained infrastructure, accidents, vandalism and other incidents. Due to the hazardous impact of such leakages and spills on the physical and social environments, an Operator needs to grasp the regulatory obligations associated with these incidents and proactively address the environmental impact of their operations. In our SON Energy Digest article series on the Strategies and Plans Essential for Environmental Compliance in Nigeria's Upstream Gas Operations, we addressed the Regulatory Measures to be taken for Operators Spill Remediation, as well as the administrative penalties and sanctions prescribed for failure to comply.
