This could reduce the number of wells and infrastructure on the surface, potentially impacting the environment. For citizens, this means potentially fewer visible extraction activities in their surroundings.
Key points
Permission to combine oil and gas production from different sources, regardless of ownership or royalty rates.
Goal: Reduce the number of surface installations, which may limit impact on landscapes and ecosystems.
Requirement for accurate measurement of production from each source to ensure proper accounting.
