Offshore Chemicals Regulations 2002

The Offshore Chemical Regulations 2002 apply the provisions of the Decision by the Convention for the Protection of the Marine Environment of the North-East Atlantic (the OSPAR Convention) for a Harmonised Mandatory Control System for the use and discharge of chemicals used in the offshore oil and gas industry.

Under the Regulations, offshore operators will need to apply for permits to cover both the use and discharge of chemicals.

All offshore activities involving the use and/or discharge of chemicals are covered by the Regulations, including oil and gas production operations, the drilling of wells, discharges from pipelines and discharges during decommissioning activities.
