The removal work must take place pursuant to the HSE regulations for the petroleum activities, and on the basis of considerations including consent and decommissioning plans.
This consent is given pursuant to section 25(4) d) of the management regulations, in part on the basis of the documentation submitted in connection with the application and with the preconditions and commitments that this represents, but on the following terms.
