Rockrose-Repsol will have to deal with i3e if they want a production license for Tain field as per OGA rule...
Field Determination process
A proposed determination of a field must be made before the OGA can consent to a field development. The process for determination involves the OGA issuing a proposal (for the boundary) to all licensees with an interest in the licenced blocks in which the field is situated and licensees in the adjacent blocks, so all parties can ensure their interests in the field will be recognised. The boundary is defined offshore by parallels of latitude and meridians joining the co-ordinate points and onshore by grid lines of the UK National Grid. To assist the OGA in preparing a proposed determination the field operator will be asked to provide a top structure map at 1:25,000 scale showing:
actual and proposed well locations;fluid contacts;licence boundaries;and the proposed Development Area and Unit Area (if applicable – see below). additional information to support this request may include, but not limited to, relevant seismic cross-sections and geo-schematic lines highlighting the structural closure and relationship to adjacent areas; evidence of depth conversion methodology and uncertainty associated with mapping; fluid contact interpretation
Operators are to ensure all information is provided in both electronic format and hard copy. If further information is required, it will be requested during the Field Development Plan discussions.
All mapping images (including the Top Structure Map) must be georeferenced or include a World File for use in GIS. Georeferencing queries can be sent to the OGA GIS team at GIS@ogauthority.co.uk.
The recipients of the proposal have 60 days from the date on which a proposal is issued to make any representations regarding it in writing. They will then have an opportunity to present any specific concerns in more detail. The final determination will be made following all relevant discussion, and must be in place prior to first production. It is issued when the Field Development Plan has been consented to. HMRC are notified when proposed and final determinations are issued to licensees.
