Regulatory Support

For regulatory agencies: expert guidance, training, and standard development participation. For operators: regulatory interpretation, compliance assistance, audit support, and engagement strategy.

When we get the call

For operators

Typical scenario

A licence application is due in a framework your team has never used

Typical scenario

Your team is overworked, cannot keep up with the regulatory framework and has too many interfaces. You need a practical plan

Typical scenario

A regulator has shut down several wells over poor well integrity design and condition

For regulators

Typical scenario

A regulator receives a licence application for CO2 storage or enhanced geothermal, and nobody has handled one before

Typical scenario

A regulator is notified of a critical situation or an accident on an exploration well, and has to decide what should be done

Typical scenario

A regulator notices operators avoiding plugged back exploration wells, and activating the financial guarantee would be complex
