Like the Petroleum Act, the Working Environment Act will apply to facilities in the petroleum activities. The term facility is the same as is used in the Petroleum Act, cf. the definition in Section 1-6, litera d of the Petroleum Act. The Working Environment Act has a different, narrower application for vessels than the Petroleum Act, but in the determination of what constitutes a facility and what constitutes a vessel, the same criteria as follow from the petroleum legislation form the basis. Reference is here made to the delimitation in the Petroleum Act in connection with Section 1-4 cf. Section 1-6 litera c, which further limits what vessels can be considered supply and standby vessels, cf. Odelsting Proposition No. 43 (1995-1996), pages 27 and 28. The term includes, in addition to vessels that transport personnel and equipment, crane barges and other service vessels, vessels used to carry out manned underwater operations, pipe-laying vessels, vessels that carry out seismic surveys, etc. On the other hand, e.g. mobile drilling facilities, drilling or production vessels, flotels, etc. will clearly be covered by the term facility. As follows from the second subsection, however, certain restrictions have been set in the actual scope in relation to the Petroleum Act, which entails that the Working Environment Act will have a somewhat more limited application as regards the vessel function.

Owner

The definition of ‘owner’ in these Regulations is new and replaces the definition formerly found in the Mineral Workings (Offshore Installations) Act 1971 (MWA). The MWA definition was linked to registration, but the requirement to register installations is revoked by these Regulations. The new definition refers to the person who controls the operation of the installation, ie the person who contracts with the operator to use the installation for oil and gas related activity. This will normally be the same person as under the definition formerly used in the MWA. It does not refer to the operator (who contracts with the owner) or to the installation manager, who is appointed by the owner (see regulation 6). The owner as defined in these Regulations may not be the owner in the ordinary financial sense.

This regulation maintains the application offshore of the 1969 Act, with modifications, though the 1975 Regulations which originally applied the Act offshore are revoked (see Schedule 2).

However, ‘owner’ here applies to both fixed and mobile offshore installations, rather than using the term ‘operator’ in respect of fixed installations.
