Resource Management and Administration (RMA) Regulations Remake Information Session
The Offshore Petroleum and Greenhouse Gas Storage (Resource Management and Administration) Regulations 2025 (RMA Regulations) have been remade with some changes to allow for more effective management of Australia's oil and gas resources.
The RMA Regulations 2025 are part of the legal framework for offshore petroleum and greenhouse gas storage activity under the Offshore Petroleum and Greenhouse Gas Storage Act 2006 (OPGGS Act) and come into effect on 31 March 2026.
To support readiness, NOPSEMA is providing guidance and hosting monthly webinars; each one will be recorded and made available on our website for those unable to attend.
NOPSEMA invites you to register for the first webinar on Wednesday 28 January from 9.30-10.30am WST. This session will provide a general overview, what NOPSEMA is doing, how you can be involved and Q&As.
Changes to the regulations include well operations management plan submissions and reporting requirements relating to wells.
Those involved in revising, developing, and updating plans, and those responsible for initiating revisions, are encouraged to attend. Additionally, those responsible for compiling and submitting reports to NOPSEMA may also wish to attend.
The National Offshore Petroleum Safety and Environmental Management Authority (NOPSEMA) is Australia's independent expert regulator for health and safety, structural and well integrity, and environmental management for all offshore petroleum and greenhouse gas storage activities in Commonwealth waters, and in coastal waters where regulatory powers and functions have been conferred.
