Article summary

The Offshore Petroleum Regulator for Environment and Decommissioning (OPRED) has updated its published communications to stakeholders on environmental regulation of UK offshore oil and gas operations during coronavirus (COVID-19). The update confirms that OPRED will continue to operate as previously communicated, following the Scottish Government's extension of their lockdown measures. During this time, OPRED will plan resuming physical inspections at premises or offshore once measures are eased and individual circumstances allow for safe carrying out of activities. Any proposed resumption of activities will be in line with UK and Scottish Government advice, Public Health England and Health Protection Scotland.
