Petroleum Operations Notices
Petroleum Operations Notices (PONs) are formal guidance documents issued by regulatory bodies, primarily in the oil and gas industry, outlining specific requirements and obligations for operators regarding various aspects of petroleum activities, including reporting incidents, managing data, and obtaining consent for operations. These notices ensure compliance with regulations for safety, environmental protection, and information management throughout the petroleum lifecycle.
