The Petroleum (Production) (Landward Areas) Regulations 1991
These Regulations provide for applications to the Secretary of State for licences to search for and get petroleum in Great Britain and those islands and waters adjacent to it which are “landward areas” as defined in the Regulations. They also set out model clauses which are to be incorporated in such licences unless the Secretary of State thinks fit to modify or exclude them in any particular case. The Regulations supersede the Petroleum (Production) (Landward Areas) Regulations 1984 (S.I. 1984/1832), except as respects licences applied for before the date on which these Regulations come into force.
