Section 54 provides that, following the giving of a revocation notice or an operator removal notice, the OGA cannot give a further sanction notice. Where the OGA gives an enforcement notice or a financial penalty notice which requires compliance with a "petroleum-related requirement" by a specified period, a further sanction notice may not be given in respect of the failure to comply with the "petroleum-related requirement" until the period for compliance specified in the original notice has passed. If the OGA gives a financial penalty notice which does not require compliance with a "petroleum-related requirement" by a specified period (for example, because the requirement has already been remedied at the time the notice is given), no further sanction notice may be given in respect of the breach.
