Environmental Data and Intelligence for you and your Agents
Approvals and environment leads
- Your job: Set and defend the approvals date.
- What the register shows: The typical accepted plan took 111 to 126 days for plans decided 2017 to 2020, and 275 to 292 days in 2024 and 2025. (REP-002 s3.1)
- How to use it: Reset the baseline before the plan is drafted, not after it is late.
- Start with: The free Census, then the licensed Census for your region and activity. Decision Reason Analysis to check a draft against the criteria recorded as not met.
Project and schedule managers
- Your job: Sequence rig, vessel and survey windows around approval.
- What the register shows: In 2023 and 2025, one accepted plan in ten took more than two years. Among plans filed since 2021, a plan already open for 650 days still had a typical 149 days to go. (REP-002 s3.2)
- How to use it: Sequence against the slow plans, and don't hold a window because the end must be close.
- Start with: The free Census findings 1 and 3; the licensed Census by region and activity.
Decommissioning teams
- Your job: Plan decommissioning approvals for late-life assets.
- What the register shows: Median 78.5 days for plans decided 2017 to 2020 (n=24), 383 days for 2023 to 2025 (n=25). Only 42 of the 111 decommissioning plans file under an activity name with "decommissioning" in it. (REP-003)
- How to use it: Resource the approval on 383 days, not 78.5, look for precedent beyond the activity name, and allow for the slow tenth.
- Start with: The free decommissioning brief, then the Activity Type Deep Dive.
Development and exploration teams
- Your job: Time approvals around FID, drilling or survey seasons.
- What the register shows: Development median 75 days (n=38, decided 2017 to 2020) to 239 days (n=32, 2023 to 2025). Seismic surveys were cancelled at 16.0% (25 of 156), against 5.2% for drilling. (REP-005; REP-002 s3.3)
- How to use it: Carry cancellation on the risk register beside refusal, at your activity's rate.
- Start with: The free development or exploration brief.
Heads of approvals and executives
- Your job: Answer "how do we compare" at board level.
- What the register shows: Your record beside every other titleholder, by name, from public data only, nothing ranked, under use terms.
