National Electronic Approvals Tracking System for offshore petroleum now in operation

Key Points:

NEATS is expected to improve the timeliness, accountability and transparency of offshore petroleum approval processes.

The National Offshore Petroleum Titles Administrator (NOPTA) launched the National Electronic Approvals Tracking System (NEATS) on 7 May 2012. NEATS is an electronic register providing public access to information concerning offshore petroleum titles and applications.

NEATS provides a unified register of offshore petroleum titles and applications. It replaces an assortment of registers previously maintained by the respective State Departments (for example the Petroleum and Geothermal Register maintained by the Department of Mines and Petroleum WA1).

The legal position will depend on the mining or exploration licence (as the case may be), the pastoral lease, government policy, approvals and proposed activity, but early preparation gives a family stronger footing in discussions.
