Introduction

Licences are granted by regulatory agencies as authorization to conduct work. Various terms are used to identify these authorizations. Typical examples include licence and permit. The type of authorization that is granted will be governed by the regulatory regime in which you will be operating.

Some agencies provide a single licence to cover all the activities related to drilling, completing and producing a well. Other agencies use separate licencing processes at various stages of the life cycle, and may provide amendments to licences over time. If you intend to implement this module, be aware that you may need to accommodate more than one regulatory regime in your system.

Conditions and obligations that are incurred through the granted licence should be noted; both the operator and the grantor will be interested in ensuring that these conditions are met as defined in the licence. The licence module works in conjunction with other PPDM modules to keep track of this information.

There are four types of licences in PPDM 3.7. Each module contains similar components, but has been tuned to the type of licence typically granted for that business object. Well licences pertain to wells and all activities and operations related to them. Facility licences pertain to any kind of production facility such as a battery, pipeline or processing facility. Seismic licences relate to the acquisition of seismic information.

Business Associate licences provide a more generic method of granting licences for activities not related to seismic, wells or facilities. These licences may be granted for conducting aerial surveys, ground geochemical studies, environmental assessments and so on.
