Oil and gas: environmental alerts and incident reporting including anonymous reporting

Imported from official source

The Department for Energy Security and Net Zero OPRED regularly issues environmental alert notices in order to raise awareness of any environmental issues on the United Kingdom Continental Shelf (UKCS) so companies can respond appropriately. They are issued directly to Oil and Gas operators and published online.

  • PON1 - Releases to sea of oil or offshore chemicals
  • PON2 - Loss of deposition of materials to sea
  • PON10 - Non-compliance with Part 4A of the Energy Act/Consent to Locate (including Standard Marking Schedule)
  • OPPC NCN - Non-compliance with the OPPC Regulations / an OPPC Permit
  • OCR NCN - Non-compliance with the OCR Regulations / an OCR Permit
  • PPC NCN - Non-compliance with the PPC Regulations / a PPC Permit
  • F-Gas/ODS NCN - Non-compliance with the F-Gas / ODS Regulations
  • General Regulatory NCN - Any breach / non-compliance with Regulations not listed above, for example a breach associated with the conditions of a Geological Survey or Marine Licence.

    • You may find it useful to consult OPREDs offshore environmental legislation page for information on environmental regulations and guidance on offshore oil and gas exploration and production, offshore gas unloading and storage and offshore carbon dioxide storage activities.
