These Regulations prescribe model clauses for offshore exploration licences granted under section 3 of the Petroleum Act 1998 (“the 1998 Act”), and under section 4 of the Energy Act 2008 (“the 2008 Act”). Unless the Secretary of State decides to exclude or modify them in any particular case, such clauses are deemed to be incorporated into the relevant licences (which permit certain kinds of exploration for the purposes, respectively, of petroleum production and the storage or unloading of combustible gas). For the most part, identical clauses are prescribed for both kinds of licence, so that the licences can be combined in a single document; however, in a few cases, provisions are prescribed only in respect of petroleum exploration licences, and in others only in respect of gas storage and unloading exploration licences.
