Abstract
These Regulations implement provisions of the Petroleum Act in relation to the exploration for and exploration of sources of petroleum (including natural gas) in Trinidad and Tobago. The Regulations principally provide rules relative to licensing of petroleum operations and define obligations and rights of licensees. Licences include: an exploration licence; an exploration and production (public petroleum rights) licence; an exploration and production (private petroleum rights) licence; a liquefaction of natural gas licence; a transportation licence by pipeline or other means of transport; a marketing licence; and a petrochemical licence.
The Regulations, among other things, prescribe forms and procedures relative to application for and granting of licences. A licensee shall, as a general obligation, minimize damage to land, crops, etc. Some provisions concern the felling of trees and cutting of timber and the use of water on state lands.
