Legislation

Permits

If an organisation wishes to explore for, produce or store oil or gas in the Netherlands it requires permits. There are various permits for the different steps in this process. For instance to undertake drilling activities and for production. 

Mining Act

Most permits are based on the Mining Act or rulings based on this. But other permits may also be necessary. For instance in the area of environmental protection, social security and spatial planning.

OSPAR

Oil and gas companies that are active in the Netherlands or on the Dutch continental shelf also have to take into account EU legislation and the demands of other treaties and agreements applicable in Europe such as the OSPAR Convention.
