Before starting works to plug and abandon a relevant GHG well, CTSCo must give the chief inspector a plugging and abandonment plan for the well. However, if works to plug and abandon the well started before the commencement, CTSCo must comply with subsection (1) as soon as practicable after the commencement. A plugging and abandonment plan must— be in writing; and demonstrate consideration of all matters that, under the construction and abandonment code, must be considered before a petroleum well is abandoned; and show how the relevant GHG well will be plugged and abandoned (the proposed way ); and state whether or not the proposed way will deviate from the way for plugging and abandoning the relevant GHG well mentioned in section 12 (a) (the standard way ); and if the proposed way will deviate from the standard way—state how the proposed way will deviate from the standard way; and include a copy of the safety report; and for each risk mentioned in the safety report—include a description of the technical and other measures that CTSCo has undertaken, or will undertake, to control the risk to the acceptable level for the risk. In this section— safety report means the report mentioned in section 13 (1) (b) .
