### sec.20 What are the conditions of a petroleum authority
The conditions of a petroleum authority are—
the conditions stated in it from time to time; and
the authority holder’s obligations under chapters 2 to 5; and
any condition of the authority under chapters 2 to 5; and
a condition that an authority holder must ensure each person acting for the holder who carries out an authorised activity for the authority complies with its conditions to the extent they apply to the carrying out of the activity.
For who may carry out an authorised activity for the holder, see section 563 .
A condition mentioned in subsection (1) (b) or (c) is a mandatory condition of the authority.
If a Coordinator-General’s condition applies to a petroleum lease, pipeline licence or petroleum facility licence, or proposed petroleum lease, pipeline licence or petroleum facility licence, for a coordinated project, and the condition conflicts with a mandatory condition for that type of petroleum authority, the Coordinator-General’s condition prevails to the extent of the inconsistency. See sections 123A , 412A and 447A .
