SI 2016/1029 The Petroleum Licensing (Exploration and Production) (Landward Areas) (Amendment) (England and Wales) Regulations 2016 (link)
The Petroleum Licensing (Exploration and Production) (Landward Areas) Regulations 2014 (link) prescribe the model clauses which will be incorporated in petroleum licences for landward areas as defined in those Regulations.
These regulations amend Schedule 2 of the 2014 Regulations (“Model clauses for petroleum exploration and development licences”) by inserting an additional model clause, prohibiting holders of petroleum licences from carrying out high volume hydraulic fracturing from any well where the well pad for that well is located in a protected area, specified in the clause, which is in England or Wales.
