Permits and Consents – UK Oil and Gas Industry
Xodus AURORA’s Consents and Permit team manage applications for all environmental related permits, including:

Permit Management Systems
Xodus AURORA has developed a number of software tools in order to improve efficiency in permit preparation and compliance tracking (see PonTRAX) for offshore chemical permits. Xodus AURORA is also in the process of designing tools that can provide complete compliance management for offshore operators including centralised permit management and automatic emission monitoring and tracking.

OPPC
The Offshore Petroleum Activities (Oil Pollution Prevention and Control) Regulations 2005 are designed to encourage operators to continue to reduce the quantities of hydrocarbons discharged during the course of offshore operations. The regulations introduce a permitting system for oil discharges and a Dispersed Oil in Produced Water Trading Scheme.

OCR
Under the Offshore Chemical Regulations 2002, operators have to obtain permits for the use of chemicals offshore.

PPC
Under the Offshore Combustion Installations (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Regulations 2001, permits are required for the operation of certain offshore combustion installations. Working alongside our engineers we can undertake all the required supporting studies for PPC applications; energy efficiency studies, BAT assessment and emissions modelling.
