Part 2: Further functions of the OGA relating to offshore petroleum Supplementary Section 56: Alternative means of enforcement
Section 56 provides that where the OGA gives a sanction notice to the holder of an offshore petroleum licence, the matter is to be dealt with in accordance with Chapter 5. Its effect is to disapply any right under a licence for the matter to be dealt with in some other way - for example, by arbitration. The intention is that Chapter 5 provides an alternative method of enforcement for breaches of offshore petroleum licences.
