Abstract
The present Regulation provides for the implementation of the Mines and Minerals Act. The Regulation contains at the outset a definition clause relating to various terms employed therein, such as “Board”, “Crown spacing unit”, “freehold well”, “gas storage”, “agreement”, “licence”, “location”, “producing well”, “zone”. Part 1 lays down provisions relating to the licensing of extraction of petroleum and natural gas. Section 10 concerns the grouping of licences. A “grouping well” means a well that, in the opinion of the Minister, assesses the value of petroleum and natural gas rights in the locations. Part 2 regulates petroleum and natural gas leases. Section 14 deals with continuation of leases, and continuation of drilling in operation. The text consists of 37 sections divided into 3 Parts.
