Annual Well Integrity Report template (new)

Overview

The Offshore Petroleum and Greenhouse Gas Storage (Resource Management and Administration) Regulations 2025 (RMA Regulations) have been remade with some changes to allow for more effective management of Australia's oil and gas resources.

The RMA Regulations are part of the legal framework for offshore petroleum and greenhouse gas storage activity under the Offshore Petroleum and Greenhouse Gas Storage Act 2006 (OPGGS Act).

They cover resource management and administration, well operations management plans and well activities, data management and reporting for petroleum and greenhouse gas storage and other regulatory and administrative matters.

The remade RMA Regulations will now require titleholders to submit an annual well integrity report following the anniversary of their well operations management plan (WOMP) acceptance. NOPSEMA has developed a report template to assist titleholders with meeting these new reporting obligations

The stakeholder feedback process provides an opportunity for all stakeholders to have their say on the new Annual Well Integrity Report template prior to publication on 31 March 2026 when the remade RMA Regulations come into effect.
