147 Anbefalte retningslinjer - Rev. 00

The guideline provides guidance for how to perform Best Available Technique (BAT) assessments for all relevant phases of offshore oil and gas (O&G) activity at the Norwegian Continental Shelf (NCS); project screening, FEED and detailed engineering, operations, modifications, and decommissioning. As part of BAT assessment of offshore O&G activity, value chain effects for onshore O&G facilities shall be addressed when relevant.

The guideline is not directly applicable for onshore O&G activity, as the requirements to BAT for onshore facilities deviate from offshore requirments. But, the general approach described in the guidline may be used by other sectors if found appropriate.
