Part 2: Further functions of the OGA relating to offshore petroleum Information Sections 57 and 58: Sanctions: information powers and Appeals against information requests
Section 57 provides the OGA with a power to acquire information, by written notice, from a person to whom the petroleum-related requirements apply. This can be done for the purposes of establishing whether a breach of those requirements has occurred and whether, or on what terms, a sanction notice should be given. Subsection (5) specifies the types of documents or information that can be acquired. Subsection (4) states that non-compliance with a notice will, in itself, be subject to sanctions.
	Section 58 creates a right of appeal to the Tribunal against this power on grounds set out within the section.
