Publication of the use of installations for the abstraction, treatment and transport, etc. of hydrocarbons (third party access) facilities

In accordance with paragraph 16 (1). 5, in the application of Denmark's subsoil, cf. Law Order no. 960 of 13. September 2011 shall be :

Chapter 1

Objections, etc.

Scope and scope

§ 1. The purpose of the announcement is to establish rules and procedures to ensure the appropriate and effective use of installations for the abstraction, treatment and transport and so on of hydrocarbons. Third Party access to the use of plants must be based on conditions which, taking into account the appropriate use of natural occurrences in Denmark's subsoil, shall ensure continued incentive for both the execution of the investigation of hydrocarbons and operating facilities ; the abstraction, treatment and transport, etc. of hydrocarbons.

§ 2. The notice shall apply to agreements on the use of plants by the other, cf. § 3, nr. 2 that have been established under authorisation or authorisation, in accordance with the law applicable to the use of Denmark's underground (underground law).

Paragraph 2. The notice shall not apply to natural gas flow-wired into natural gas, cf. the notice of access to the current pipeline network.

Paragraph 3. The publication does not regulate the use of installations for the abstraction, treatment and transport of hydrocarbons, which are to be recovered outside Denmark's subsoil and in Danish continental continental land. It must not be discriminated against between the use of plants covered by the notice and the corresponding use of installations in the context of hydrocarbons gained in other EU and EEA countries and in their socket areas.

Definitions

§ 3. For the purposes of this notice :

1) Facilities : Installations for use in the case of abstraction, treatment and transport, etc. approved in accordance with section 10 or 17 of the underground system, with the exception of the natural gas pipeline network, cf. section 16 (4). Six, in the law.

2) Use of installations : Excludes the abstraction, treatment and transport of hydrocarbons and, by extension, gases, water, etc. in an installation, including the provision of services provided by a plant for a user in the form of electricity, water and gas for injection purposes, the supply of gas for use in the abstraction of the abstraction ; (lift gas) and treatment, storage of hydrocarbons, use of retainer facilities, and remote-management of installations and so on.

3) User : a rightholder who uses or wishes to use a plant and which is not the owner of the installation.

4) Owner : The company or association of the companies that own a plant that a copyright holder uses or wishes to use in connection with the abstraction, treatment or transport, etc. of hydrocarbons.

5) Right-holder : The company or companies which, in association with specified shares, have a permit for the investigation and the abstraction of hydrocarbons issued under the underground law and in the association of authorisations and assistance for the Eneretsauthorization for the Enttages. the investigation and the abstraction of hydrocarbons etcetera in Denmark's subdue of 8. July 1962, with subsequent changes. A rightholder may also be one or more companies operating on the basis of the Joint Operating Agreement (JOA) for a permit or the said exclusive authorization has performed, carrying out or will perform a Sole Risk Operation.

6) Third Party Access : The use of a user's facility.

Chapter 2

Parent principles

§ 4. A user shall be entitled to use an installation on objective and non-discriminatory conditions for the use of an installation in accordance with the section 16 of the underground law and the provisions of this notice. In non-discriminatory means, the owners of installations under no conditions or conditions for services may be discriminated against between users who want the same benefit.

§ 5. User and owner shall ensure that contracts for the use of installations (third party access) in the context of the abstraction of a hydrocarbon instance shall be based on the fact that the profit of the abstraction shall be mainly to the right-holder to the hydrocarbon instance.

Paragraph 2. User and owner must make sure that agreements on the use of plants must not give one or more companies unreasonable benefits. Unreasonable benefits may arise, for example, by a company that is both part of the circle of companies owned by an installation and in the circle of companies that are used by an installation achievers unfair advantages in relation to companies that are only part of the circle of : companies that are user.

§ 6. User and owner shall contribute to the provision and exchange of information necessary for the swift and effective implementation of negotiations on the agreements referred to in section 5.

Paragraph 2. User and owner may agree that exchanged information, including the third party use agreements mentioned in section 11, should be treated as confidential by user. User and owner shall ensure that the terms of an agreement on confidentiality are in accordance with the usual practice of confidentiality agreements in the context of investigation and the abstraction of hydrocarbons in Denmark.

Chapter 3

Queries

Owner must take account of their own, as well as the current and planned users of the plant, which must not be obstructed or hampered, as well as plans for the decommission of the installation. A planned user means a user who has made a binding agreement with the owner for the use of an installation and a user who, in accordance with this notice, has opened negotiations on the use of a plant and where these negotiations do not have ; exceeded the timeframe for the negotiation plan, cf. § 10. Binary agreements shall include contracts subject to regulatory approvals.

Paragraph 3. In response to the inclusion of the hydrocarbons to be recovered, they can be treated or transported and so on have specifications, cf. Article 8, which is reasonably compatible with technical requirements and the need for effective operation of the installation.

Paragraph 4. Owner must indicate whether it is possible to modify the production conditions or to build capacity for the benefit of the user if there is no available capacity at the plant.

Paragraph 5. In the case of a possible change in the production conditions or the development of capacity, cf. paragraph 4, the owner of the reply must account for the pre-fixed costs of establishing additional capacity. The statement shall establish whether studies are required to clarify the conditions surrounding the provision of additional capacity and of the risks to which it is assumed to be the owner of the claim. Furthermore, the owner of the report assesses that there is a need for an assessment of the environmental consequences, cf. section 28a of the underground law, by means of a change in production conditions.

Paragraph 6. User shall bear the cost of investigations in accordance with paragraph 1. 5, unless otherwise agreed.
