Group objectives
The purpose of the ISC SIG is to provide an active body through which ISCs can have constructive dialogue with their peers, with the OGA and others, to:
- Develop and share good practice around the provisions of Chapter 3 of the Energy Act 2016 and the equivalent provisions of the Model Clauses applicable under the Petroleum Act 1998 (for convenience hereafter referred to as “the Regulations”), including inter alia:
– Retention of Information and Samples
– Reporting of Information and Samples
– Disclosure of Information and Samples
– Information and Samples Plans
– Appointment of ISCs
- Support the OGA and CDA/OEUK in improving, simplifying and amending Guidance related to the all regulations pertaining to the management of Information and samples;
- Support compliance with the regulations through the development and adoption of relevant standards and best practices;
- Challenge the OGA to amend information and samples’ legislation and regulations as necessary;
- Identify collaborative measures that could be taken by ISCs to improve the efficiency and performance of compliance activities;
- Specify standard contract terms for the form and manner of information and samples delivered by contractors (seismic data media and formats and samples packaging for example);
- Advocacy of the role and value of the ISC SIG; and
- Internal and external training and communications for information and samples management and compliance.
