(asked on 2nd May 2018) - View Source
Question to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:
To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, what plans he has to vary the work commitments under Petroleum Exploration and Development Licence 189.
This question was answered on 10th May 2018
The responsibility for onshore oil and gas licensing, including responsibility for variations in work commitments, was transferred to the independent Oil and Gas Authority in 2016. Consequently any decisions relating to variations of a PEDL will be made by the OGA.
