Regulation No. 1625 on the use of facilities by others.

This Regulation, issued by Norway’s Ministry of Energy, governs agreements allowing third parties to use petroleum facilities for extraction, transport, or utilization. Its goal is to promote efficient resource management and provide incentives for exploration and production. It outlines principles for fair and non-discriminatory access, obligations for facility owners to provide capacity information and respond to usage requests, and detailed rules on negotiation processes, tariffs, and dispute resolution. Standardized contract clauses are required, and reporting to authorities is mandatory at various stages.
