Royalty payments101

Subject to paragraph (2) of this clause the Licensee shall pay to the Minister, in respect of each half year in which this licence is in force (hereafter in this clause and in clauses 11 and 12 of this licence referred to as a “chargeable period”), a royalty of an amount equal to the percentage specified in Schedule 3 to this licence (hereinafter referred to as “the appropriate percentage”) of the value of the petroleum relating to that period.

2

Paragraph (1) of this clause shall not apply to a chargeable period in which the Licensee delivers petroleum to the Minister in pursuance of clause 13 of this licence; but if the petroleum delivered has a value of less than the appropriate percentage of the aggregate of–

a

the value of the petroleum delivered (ignoring any such excess as is mentioned in paragraph (8) of this clause), and

b

the value of the petroleum relating to that period,

he shall pay to the Minister a royalty of an amount equal to the difference.

3

For the purposes of this clause and clauses 11 and 12 of this licence the value of the petroleum relating to a chargeable period is, subject to paragraph (4) of this clause, the total of the amounts which, if the words “one-half of” were omitted from paragraph (b) of subsection (4) and paragraph (d) of subsection (5) of section 2 of the Oil Taxation Act 1975, would in pursuance of paragraph (a) of the said subsection (4) fall to be taken into account in relation to that period in respect of the persons who by reference to this licence are or are treated as participators for the purposes of those subsections, reduced by the total of the market values which would in pursuance of the said paragraph (b) fall to be taken into account as aforesaid.

4

The value which, in pursuance of paragraph (3) of this clause, is the value of the petroleum relating to a chargeable period shall be increased by an amount equal to the value as determined for the purposes of income tax or the charge of corporation tax on income, of so much of the petroleum won and saved in the licensed area as falls within section 10(1) of the Oil Taxation Act 1975 and was in that period disposed of or relevantly appropriated (within the meaning of Part I of that Act) by the persons mentioned in the said paragraph (3).

5

Subject to paragraphs (6) and (7) of this clause, the value of petroleum delivered to the Minister in pursuance of clause 13 of this licence shall be ascertained for the purposes of this clause and clause 11 on such basis (or, where petroleum of more than one kind is delivered, such bases) as the Minister and the Licensee agree.

6

If the Minister and the Licensee fail to agree on the value of any petroleum delivered to the Minister in pursuance of clause 13 of this licence, it shall be ascertained on such basis as the Minister may specify as fair in a notice in writing given by him to the Licensee.

7

The Licensee may, during the period of 28 days beginning with the day on which he receives a notice from the Minister under paragraph (6) of this clause, refer to arbitration in the manner provided by clause 43 of this licence any question as to whether the basis of valuation specified in the notice is fair.

8

In this clause and clauses 11 and 12, references to petroleum delivered to the Minister in pursuance of clause 13 include references to any excess over the quantity required to be delivered by a notice served in pursuance of paragraph (1) of that clause.

11

If in any chargeable period the Licensee delivers to the Minister in pursuance of clause 13 of this licence petroleum having a value greater than the appropriate percentage of the aggregate of–

a

the value of the petroleum delivered (ignoring any such excess as is mentioned in clause 10(8) of this licence), and

b

the value of the petroleum relating to that period,

the Minister shall pay to the Licensee a sum equal to the difference.

12Provisions supplementary to clauses 10 and 111

The Licensee shall, within two months after the end of each chargeable period, deliver to the Minister, in such form as the Minister may specify, a statement of–

a

the quantity of petroleum won and saved in the licensed area in that period;

b

the quantity of that petroleum delivered to the Minister in that period in pursuance of clause 13 of this licence; and

c

the amounts of the prices and market values which are required by paragraph 2 of Schedule 2 to the Oil Taxation Act 1975 to be stated in the returns made for that period in pursuance of that paragraph in consequence of this licence.

2

The Licensee shall, when he delivers a statement to the Minister in pursuance of paragraph (1) of this clause for a chargeable period in respect of which royalty is payable in pursuance of clause 10(1) of this licence, make to the Minister a payment on account of royalty for that period equal to the appropriate percentage of the sum produced by aggregating the amounts which in pursuance of sub-paragraph (c) of paragraph (1) of this clause are specified in the statement and reducing the aggregate by the amount which, by virtue of paragraph 2(2)(d)(ii) of Schedule 2 to the said Act of 1975, was specified in the statement delivered to the Minister in pursuance of the said paragraph (1) in respect of the preceding chargeable period.

3

The Licensee shall, when he delivers a statement to the Minister in pursuance of paragraph (1) of this clause for a chargeable period in respect of which royalty is payable in pursuance of clause 10(2) of this licence, make to the Minister a payment on account of royalty for that period equal to the amount which would be so payable for that period if the royalty so payable for that period fell to be determined by reference to the amounts specified in the statement and the amount which, by virtue of paragraph 2(2)(d)(ii) of Schedule 2 to the Oil Taxation Act 1975, was specified in the statement delivered to the Minister in pursuance of paragraph (1) of this clause in respect of the preceding chargeable period.

4

The Minister may from time to time, after a statement in respect of any chargeable period has been delivered to him in pursuance of paragraph (1) of this clause and before he has given to the Licensee a notice in pursuance of paragraph (5) of this clause in respect of that period, give a notice in writing to the Licensee specifying the amount which the Minister estimates is payable by the Licensee in pursuance of clause 10 of this licence in respect of that period, and where the amount specified in the notice is larger or smaller than the total amount already paid by the Licensee in pursuance of this clause in respect of that period, then–

a

if it is larger the difference shall be paid forthwith by the Licensee to the Minister, and

b

if it is smaller the difference shall be paid forthwith by the Minister to the Licensee.

5

When it appears to the Minister that the value of the petroleum relating to any chargeable period has been finally determined for tax purposes, he may give to the Licensee a notice in writing specifying the amount which the Minister considers is payable by the Licensee in pursuance of clause 10 of this licence in respect of that period; and where the amount specified in the notice is larger or smaller than the total amount already paid by the Licensee in pursuance of this clause in respect of that period, then, subject to paragraph (7) of this clause–

a

if it is larger the difference shall be paid forthwith by the Licensee to the Minister; and

b

if it is smaller the difference shall be paid forthwith by the Minister to the Licensee.

6

If after the date when the Minister gave notice to the Licensee in pursuance of paragraph (5) of this clause or this paragraph in respect of a chargeable period it appears to the Minister, in consequence of a relevant assessment or determination made after that date which relates directly or indirectly to the value of petroleum by reference to which the amount specified in the notice was determined, that another amount ought to have been so specified, he may give notice in writing to the Licensee specifying the other amount; and where he does so, then subject to paragraph (7) of this clause–

a

if the other amount is larger than the total amount already paid by the Licensee in pursuance of this clause in respect of that period the difference shall be paid forthwith by the Licensee to the Minister; and

b

if it is smaller the difference shall be paid forthwith by the Minister to the Licensee.

7

A decision made by the Minister for the purposes of paragraph (4), (5) or (6) of this clause shall not be called in question by the Licensee except that any dispute between the Minister and the Licensee as to whether an amount specified in a notice given in pursuance of the said paragraph (5) or (6) is payable by virtue of clause 10 of this licence may during the period of 28 days beginning with the day on which the Licensee receives the notice be referred to arbitration in the manner provided by clause 43 of this licence; and on a reference to arbitration in pursuance of this paragraph any relevant assessment or determination for the time being in force shall be binding on the Minister and the Licensee so far as the assessment or determination relates directly or indirectly to the value of petroleum relating to the chargeable period in question.

8

When any payment is made by the Licensee or the Minister in pursuance of paragraph (4), (5) or (6) of this clause, an amount in respect of interest on the payment shall also be payable by him to the recipient of the payment and that amount shall be calculated in such manner as the Minister may specify from time to time in a notice in writing given by him to the Licensee; but–

a

a notice in pursuance of this paragraph shall provide for amounts by way of interest to be calculated by applying a rate of interest which is for the time being a commercial rate of interest; and

b

any such amount in respect of interest shall be disregarded in calculating for the purposes of the said paragraph (4), (5) or (6) any amount already paid by the Licensee in pursuance of this clause.

9

If a payment is made by the Minister in pursuance of clause 11 of this licence more than two months after the end of the chargeable period to which the payment relates, an amount in respect of interest on the payment from the end of those two months shall also be payable by him to the Licensee.

10

Interest under paragraph (9) of this clause shall be calculated in such manner as the Minister may specify from time to time in a notice in writing given by him to the Licensee (but sub-paragraph (a) of paragraph (8) of this clause shall apply to such a notice as it applies to a notice under paragraph (8)).

11

In this clause “relevant assessment or determination” means an assessment or determination made by the Commissioners of Inland Revenue for the purposes of petroleum revenue tax, income tax or the charge of corporation tax on income or a determination made in proceedings arising out of such an assessment or determination made by the said Commissioners.

12

For the purposes of this clause any amount paid by the Licensee or the Minister on account of a prospective liability under paragraph (4), (5) or (6) of this clause shall be treated as paid in pursuance of that paragraph.

13Deliveries of petroleum in place of royalties1

If during the term of this licence the Minister serves on the Licensee a notice in writing in accordance with the following provisions of this clause requiring the Licensee to deliver to the Minister part of the petroleum won and saved by the Licensee in the licensed area, the Licensee shall comply with the notice.

2

Where the Minister proposes to serve a notice on the Licensee in pursuance of paragraph (1) of this clause, he shall before doing so–

a

give the Licensee a copy of the proposed notice and an opportunity of making representations to the Minister about it; and

b

consider any representations then made to him by the Licensee about the proposed notice;

and the Minister shall, in deciding upon the terms of the actual notice, have regard to the desirability of not disturbing unduly any arrangements made by the Licensee for transporting and delivering petroleum won and saved from the licensed area.

3

Subject to paragraph (4) of this clause, a notice served in pursuance of paragraph (1) of this clause–

a

shall specify the date on which the notice is to come into force and may contain provisions with respect to the time when it shall cease to be in force;

d

shall contain provisions with respect to the place or places at which any petroleum or kind of petroleum is to be delivered in pursuance of the notice and may contain provisions with respect to the times at which any quantities of it are to be so delivered.

4

Such a notice–

a

shall not specify as the date on which it is to come into force a date before the expiration of the period of six months beginning with the date on which the notice is served on the Licensee but shall, if the Minister serves on the Licensee a further notice in writing stating that it is to cease to be in force at a time specified in the further notice which is not earlier than six months after the date of service of the further notice, cease to be in force at that time;

b

shall not specify, as the quantity of petroleum won and saved in any half year which is to be delivered in pursuance of the notice or as the quantity of any kind of such petroleum, a quantity greater than the appropriate percentage of all the petroleum, or as the case may be of all the petroleum of that kind, which is won and saved by the Licensee in the licensed area in that half year, but may provide that the quantities of the petroleum or of a kind of petroleum so won and saved which are to be so delivered shall not in the aggregate exceed a quantity specified in the notice;

c

shall not specify, or enable to be specified, as a place at which delivery is to be made in pursuance of the notice a place which is neither a point at sea at which the Licensee normally loads, nor a point on land at which the Licensee normally lands, petroleum of any kind from that area.

14Measurement of petroleum obtained from the licensed area1

The Licensee shall measure or weigh by a method or methods customarily used in good oilfield practice and from time to time approved by the Minister all petroleum won and saved from the licensed area.

2

If and to the extent that the Minister so directs, the duty imposed by paragraph (1) of this clause shall be discharged separately in relation to petroleum won and saved–

a

from each part of the licensed area which is an oil field for the purposes of the Oil Taxation Act 1975,

b

from each part of the licensed area which forms part of such an oil field extending beyond the licensed area, and

c

from each well producing petroleum from a part of the licensed area which is not within such an oil field.

3

If and to the extent that the Minister so directs, the preceding provisions of this clause shall apply as if the duty to measure or weigh petroleum included a duty to ascertain its quality or composition or both; and where a direction under this paragraph is in force, the following provisions of this clause shall have effect as if references to measuring or weighing included references to ascertaining quality or composition.

4

The Licensee shall not make any alteration in the method or methods of measuring or weighing used by him or any appliances used for that purpose without the consent in writing of the Minister and the Minister may in any case require that no alteration shall be made save in the presence of a person authorised by the Minister.

5

The Minister may from time to time direct that any weighing or measuring appliance shall be tested or examined in such manner, upon such occasions or at such intervals and by such persons as may be specified by the Minister’s direction and the Licensee shall pay to any such person or to the Minister such fees and expenses for test or examination as the Minister may specify.

6

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

These Regulations consolidate with amendments the provisions of the Petroleum (Production) Regulations 1982 (as amended) in relation to (a) applications to the Secretary of State for petroleum production licences in respect of seaward areas and (b) applications to the Secretary of State for petroleum exploration licences in respect of seaward areas and landward areas below the low water line.

The Regulations set out the requirements for such applications and in the case of applications for seaward production licences increase the amount of the application fee (from £2,500) to £3,100 (Regulation 9(1) and (2)).

The Regulations also prescribe model clauses to be incorporated, unless the Secretary of State sees fit to modify or exclude them in a particular case, in licences granted in pursuance of applications under these Regulations (Regulation 8). The clauses appropriate to seaward production licences are set out in Schedule 4 and those appropriate to exploration licences in seaward areas and landward areas below the low water line are set out in Schedule 5.

The main changes in relation to seaward production licences are in the model clauses dealing with the continuance of the licence beyond the initial term of 6 years. The revised clause 4(4) provides that the licence may be continued for a further period of 12 years (“the second term”) after the initial term. The new clause 5 provides that, subject to the conditions specified in that clause being satisfied, the licence may be continued thereafter for a further maximum period of 18 years. The new clause 6 introduces a power further to extend the term of the licence after the expiry of such 18-year period.

The Regulations provide that after the date of coming into force of these Regulations the Petroleum (Production) Regulations 1982 shall cease to have effect in relation to applications for production licences in respect of seaward areas and for exploration licences in respect of seaward areas and landward areas below the low water line (Regulation 3(2) and Schedule 2). The 1982 Regulations ceased to have effect after 18 December 1984 in relation to applications for production licences in respect of landward areas and exploration licences in respect of landward areas above the low water line, by virtue of the Petroleum (Production) (Landward Areas) Regulations 1984 (S.I. 1984/1832) (which Regulations laid down a new framework for landward licensing). The future scope of the 1982 Regulations is thus now confined to applications for methane drainage licences.

</intro>
<p>
<authorialNote>
<p>These Regulations consolidate with amendments the provisions of the Petroleum (Production) Regulations 1982 (as amended) in relation to (a) applications to the Secretary of State for petroleum production licences in respect of seaward areas and (b) applications to the Secretary of State for petroleum exploration licences in respect of seaward areas and landward areas below the low water line.</p>
<p>The Regulations set out the requirements for such applications and in the case of applications for seaward production licences increase the amount of the application fee (from £2,500) to £3,100 (Regulation 9(1) and (2)).</p>
<p>The Regulations also prescribe model clauses to be incorporated, unless the Secretary of State sees fit to modify or exclude them in a particular case, in licences granted in pursuance of applications under these Regulations (Regulation 8). The clauses appropriate to seaward production licences are set out in Schedule 4 and those appropriate to exploration licences in seaward areas and landward areas below the low water line are set out in Schedule 5.</p>
<p>The main changes in relation to seaward production licences are in the model clauses dealing with the continuance of the licence beyond the initial term of 6 years. The revised clause 4(4) provides that the licence may be continued for a further period of 12 years (“the second term”) after the initial term. The new clause 5 provides that, subject to the conditions specified in that clause being satisfied, the licence may be continued thereafter for a further maximum period of 18 years. The new clause 6 introduces a power further to extend the term of the licence after the expiry of such 18-year period.</p>

The Regulations provide that after the date of coming into force of these Regulations the Petroleum (Production) Regulations 1982 shall cease to have effect in relation to applications for production licences in respect of seaward areas and for exploration licences in respect of seaward areas and landward areas below the low water line (Regulation 3(2) and Schedule 2). The 1982 Regulations ceased to have effect after 18 December 1984 in relation to applications for production licences in respect of landward areas and exploration licences in respect of landward areas above the low water line, by virtue of the Petroleum (Production) (Landward Areas) Regulations 1984 (
<ref href="http://www.legislation.gov.uk/id/uksi/1984/1832">S.I. 1984/1832</ref>
) (which Regulations laid down a new framework for landward licensing). The future scope of the 1982 Regulations is thus now confined to applications for methane drainage licences.
