Tasks
❑ Implement updates to JOA Standard Agreement to reflect the
Innovate Licence
❑ LARRY and Marks Scheme: ensure recommendations are
considered and implemented by OGA ahead of 33rd Licensing
Round. Assist in delivery of a new licensing system covering oil
and gas and CCUS if sanctioned
❑ New licensing portal
❑ Marks scheme update and inclusion of CCUS
❑ Guidance Update
❑ Inclusion of checkpoints for alignment with net zero
❑ Continue to support BEIS licensing review process
Key Stakeholders

XTF Leads
▪ Colin Percival
▪ Ben Hillier
▪ Keith Wise
Promote & encourage collaborative commercial behaviours
Standard JOA
• Alignment with Innovate Licence. OGUK (Tracey Keith) liaising with Operators Legal
Committee (OLC) to effect changes. Kick off meeting 17/3/21 with TFG volunteers to
agree ToR and timeline.
• TFG Volunteers – Cairn, Neptune, Chrysaor/Harbour, Total, C. Percival, BP – potential
review capacity.
• Way Forward – Update JOA to reflect Innovate Licence. Expectation is that JOA is to
be signed within 6 months of licence award.
Promote & encourage collaborative commercial behaviours
LARRY & Marks Scheme
• Questionnaire distributed and results compiled
• Results discussed with OGA to implement changes and update
guidance – on hold pending BEIS review
• BEIS review of Oil & Gas Licensing focussed on alignment with
net zero target. Results published in Energy White Paper December 2020
Promote & encourage collaborative commercial behaviours

Tasks
❑ Communicate data release issues to all stakeholders
❑ Identify and promote additional data types to be included in NDR
o Seismic field data and merged navigation datasets
o Production data (by well & reservoir)
o Static and dynamic field models
o Consider what is needed for emergent CO2 storage industry
❑ Communicate issues & opportunities from industry to NDR via
NDR steering group

exploration
task force
Task: Communicate data release issues to all stakeholders
o Information and Samples
o Successful campaign filling holes in the database
o Seismic field data
o The process of the release is described
o Working well for proprietary data
o Direct contact with multi-client data owners remains quickest
route
o NDR in transition
o From Schlumberger (CDA
contract ) to OGA and Osokey
Ltd.
o Handover due mid 2021
o Critical part element to the OGA Digital Energy Platform
o NDR as part of OGA Digital Energy Platform
o The Digital Strategy is designed to support MER UK and Energy
Transition
o Should we broaden the nature of the data within the NDR
making it a more valuable repository for the future ?
o Or is the Digital Energy Platform to interrogate the existing
data ?
Facilitate data release & support development of best in class NDR
Priority 3: Data
exploration
task force
Task: Identify and promote additional data types to be included in NDR
o Supporting MER UK and Energy Transition
o MER
o Seismic field data and merged navigation datasets
o Continue to press for more data
o Geological data
o Fundamental biostrat. data and reports
o Petrographic reports
o More geochemical reports
o Energy Transition
o The offshore wind industry may benefit from
o Site and pipeline route surveys (inc. environmental studies)
o Geotechnical surveys completed for subsea infra-structure
o Any emergent CO2 storage industry will need to know the
dynamics of the sub-surface
o Production data (by well and reservoir)
o Static and dynamic field models
o Fields that saw CoP since 2018
o Should models from fields closed down earlier be
requested ?
