Resource Management Aims
w The petroleum resources must be managed such as to provide the best possible economic outcome for the society.w The petroleum resources must be managed within
the context of an environmental sustainable society.w The oil and gas industry should be developed in a
way that makes due consideration to the viable development of other sectors of the society.

Petroleum administration body
w Authorities Functionsw Manage the resources to the best of the peoplew Establish regulations to guide the activity towards the
national goalw Monitor/Supervise that the companies comply with
regulationsw Give advice to the politicians (President/Parliament)w Keep administrative records of obligations and rightsw Manage the information
Jan-06 5
Society vs company interestw Increase oil recoveryw Small/marginal fieldsw Joint developmentsw National budgetw Abandonmentw Life cycle analysesw Environmental issuesw Field development plan, area studiesw Transport capacity and tariffs (third party access)
Jan-06 6
Management tools
w Licensing roundsw Approval of Plan for Development and Operation
of a petroleum deposit (PDO) w Approval of Plan for Installation and Operation of
facilities for transport and utilisation of petroleum (PIO)w Production permits (Export of gas from a field
requires a government approval)w Regulation of the gas transport system

What is a PDO?
PDO = Plan for Development and Operation(Hydrocarbon deposit)
PIO = Plan for Installation and Operation(Pipeline/infrastructure)
Jan-06 9
Why PDO?
w Ensure maximized added value for society at largew Ensure a qualitative good government approval
processw Ensure efficient evaluation of development plan
Jan-06 10
The information received in a PDO
w The authority is able to…
w do strategic planningw control big international oil companiesw challenge the oil companies (resource
management & safety)w increase the ”government take” by assisting oil
companies to operate more efficiently
Jan-06 11
Petroleum Policy
w Good estimates for resources, costs, production and prices give a solid basis for decisions in all phases of the Petroleum Activity:
w Explorationw Planning for optimal use of infrastructurew Developmentw Productionw Abandonment

Authorities’ PDO process
w Impact assessment (when required)w Received by the Ministry 2-3 months before submission of the PDOw Consultation process with all relevant authorities, institutions and groups
w PDOw Received by the Ministry of Petroleum and Energy (MPE)w Consultation with
Norwegian Petroleum DirectorateMinistry of Labour and Government Administration/Petroleum Safety Authority
w MPE drafts white paperw Consultation with relevant ministries
w Proposition submitted for approvalw Approval by the Parliament or by the King in Council (Government)
Jan-06 14
Development PlanningNPD interaction prior to PDOw Objectives:w To ensure that the authorities considerations are smoothly included
in the field development during the early planning phasew Obtain an efficient approval process
w Measures:w Perform ”Area-study” (study the effect of the new field
development in a broader geographic perspective)w Gather information by participation in licence committee meetingsw Have an early dialogue with operatorw Make in-house evaluations and investigate alternative
solutions/interpretationsw More meetings with operator to influence decisions or clarify
questions
Jan-06 15
Requirement to Submit a PDO
w A PDO is a description of all important aspects of the development
w A PDO shall be submitted to the Ministry for approval when a license decides to develop a petroleum deposit (field)
w The Ministry may require an account of the impact on the environment or other affected activities (Impact Assessment)
w Substantial contractual obligations must not be undertaken, nor construction work started, until the PDO has been approved, unless by consent from the Ministry
w On application from the licensee the Ministry may waive the requirement to submit a PDO

PDO – Economic analysis
w General economic assumptions and evaluation methodw Price developmentw Currency developmentw Rate of returnw Tariff/income/expenses
w Resultsw Pre taxw Post tax
w Economic uncertainty evaluations

PDO - Economic Policy
w Good estimates for resources, costs, production and prices give a solid foundation for:
* Economic Policy* A sustainable long term finance-policy* Planning monetary policy issues
w High quality forecasting is needed

w Ensure that the plans are consistent and with conclusions that are thoroughly evaluated and documented
w Ensure that all important aspects of the development are included in the plan, according to acts and regulations
w Focus on areas where there is a difference between what is optimal for the society and what is optimal for the licensees
w Make recommendations and provide the best possible basis for decision for Ministry and Parliament/Government
w Present conclusions to the Ministry
Approval of PDONPD’s role
Jan-06 22
NPD interaction after PDO approval
w Follow-up of conditions in the PDO approvalw Follow-up that safety and working environment are in
line with regulationsw Report discrepancies to the Ministryw Informationw licensee meetings w Ad hoc meetings on project status

Field development plan
w Differences between a company’s interest and a society’s interestw A field development plan is used to achieve the
society’s interestw The authority has to do their own evaluation of the
areaw Good estimates in a field development plan give a
solid foundation for decision in all phases of the petroleum activity
