BEIS OPRED have recently emailed all stakeholders regarding seismic surveys.
As part of its ongoing management of impulsive noise activities within the Southern North Sea SAC (SNS SAC), OPRED alongside other government departments and regulators seek cooperation from oil and gas operators who are or may be planning any noisy activities (including geological surveys, explosive activity or piling) in this area over between April and September 2020.
OPRED request operators to provide information of geological survey or noisy activity proposed that may impact the SNS SAC, including the type of activity, and the proposed geographical and temporal details.
Information should be submitted to bst@beis.gov.uk by the 6th March 2020. OPRED acknowledges that detailed information may not be currently available, but any information may be helpful. Operators should note that when information does become available, OPRED request that the details are forwarded to bst@beis.gov.uk.
