OGA Plan - Emissions Reduction

The OGA Plan, produced after public consultation makes it clear that for production to continue in the North Sea, it must also continue to become cleaner.

The NSTA will apply the OGA Plan in a reasonable manner, and will not pursue actions that could bring about significant unintended consequences simply because of specific wording in the OGA Plan.

The OGA Plan includes the requirement for relevant persons to ‘Produce an Emissions Reduction Action Plan (‘ERAP’) for each asset. An explanatory note which provides further details can be downloaded below.

In December 2024, the NSTA published a list of assets with reported routine flaring, fulfilling a commitment made in the OGA Plan. It can be viewed below.
