据国外媒体5月17日悉尼报道,澳大利亚国家海洋石油安全和环境管理局(NOPSEMA)16日宣布,NOPSEMA日前向英国石油公司(BP)提供了一个旨在修改和重新提交他们在南澳大利亚州海岸以外大澳大利亚湾进行勘探钻井的环境计划的机会。
如果BP接受这个机会,那么,环境修改计划预计在7月15日前重新提交,NOPSEMA将在那一天重新开始评估这个计划。
旨在修改和重新提交环境计划的机会是NOPSEMA环境计划评估过程的一个正常部分。
如果一个所有权人获得了一个修改他们环境计划的合理机会,而NOPSEMA确定这个环境计划仍没有符合验收的监管要求,那么NOPSEMA将拒绝接受这个计划。
自NOPSEMA在2012年1月1日成立以来,所有提交评估的环境计划中有4%的计划被拒绝。

NOPSEMA Asks BP for New Environmental Plan for Great Australian Bight

Sydney
Australia's National Offshore Petroleum Safety and Environmental Management Authority (NOPSEMA) announced Monday that it has provided BP an opportunity to modify and resubmit their environment plan for exploration drilling in the Great Australian Bight, off the coast of South Australia. If BP accepts this opportunity, the modified plan is expected to be resubmitted by July 15, at which time NOPSEMA will recommence the assessment.
An opportunity to modify and resubmit is a normal part of NOPSEMA's environment plan assessment process.
If a titleholder has been given a reasonable opportunity to modify their plan and NOPSEMA determines that it still doesn't meet the regulatory requirements for acceptance then NOPSEMA will refuse to accept the plan. Since NOPSEMA was established on Jan. 1, 2012, 4 percent of all environment plans submitted for assessment have been refused.
