Procedures Plans and ReportsProduction planNOTE! In the following procedures references are made to the official text of the Mining act. You will find direct links to the relevant articles. Unfortunately the official text of the Mining act is not available in English. However there is an unofficial translation in pdf format available from our legislation page.The production of resources from an accumulation will be carried out according the production plan on the basis of article 34, sub 1, of the Mining Act. The production plan will be supplied to the Minister of Economic Affairs. A summary of the legally required content of the production plan is detailed in section 3.1 (article 24, 25 and 29) of the Mining Decree. Article 24 of the Mining Decree actually describes the contents of the Field Development plan (FDP) as generally accepted in the oil industry. The intention of the legislator is that the operator does not make a production plan exclusively for the authorities, but submits the FDP already available. It is however important to explicitly mark the parts considered confidential. The production plan for onshore accumulations should, on the basis of article 24 of the Mining Decree, also contain information on subsidence induced by mining activities.
