sec.111 GHG stream pipeline and water pipeline construction and operation

The GHG lease holder may construct and operate GHG stream pipelines and water pipelines in the lease’s area. The P&G Act provides for the granting of licences that will allow the investigation and surveying for, and the construction and operation of, GHG stream pipelines outside the area of a GHG lease. See sections 16 , 394 and 402 of that Act. However, if a GHG stream pipeline or water pipeline extends beyond the area of the GHG lease, subsection (1) applies only if the pipeline is completely within— the GHG lease’s area; and the area of 1 or more other GHG leases that are— contiguous to the GHG lease; and also held by the holder or are subject to a GHG coordination arrangement to which the holder is a party. Also, if the pipeline is a water pipeline, the pipeline may only be operated to transport water for the carrying out of an authorised activity for the GHG lease or another GHG lease mentioned in subsection (2) (b) on an area mentioned in subsection (2) . Subsection (3) does not prevent the GHG lease holder from constructing or operating a water pipeline if the holder can otherwise lawfully do so. In this section— operate , a GHG stream pipeline, includes use, inspect, test, maintain, repair, alter, add to and replace the pipeline. water pipeline means— a pipe or system of pipes for transporting water; and a thing connected to or associated with the pipeline that is necessary for its operation, including for example, a thing mentioned in the examples to section 17 (2) (b) .
