Associated Natural Gas. 21.2.1. In the event of a commercial discovery of Crude Oil, the Contractor shall specify in the report indicated in article 11.3.3 whether the production of Associated Natural Gas (after processing said Associated Natural Gas in order to separate the Hydrocarbons that may be considered as Crude Oil pursuant to articles 16.2 and 16.3) is likely to exceed the quantities necessary for the needs of the Petroleum Operations relating to the production of Crude Oil (including the reinjection operations), and whether it believes that this surplus is likely to be produced in commercial quantities. In the event that the Contractor has notified the Government of such surplus, the Parties shall jointly evaluate the possible outlets for this surplus Associated Natural Gas, both on the local market and for export (including the possibility of jointly selling their shares of production of this surplus Associated Natural Gas in the event that this surplus is not otherwise commercially producible), as well as the means necessary for sale. In the event that the Parties agree that the development of the surplus Associated Natural Gas is justified, or in the event that the Contractor wants to develop and produce this surplus for export, the Contractor shall indicate, in the development and production program indicated in article 11.3.3, the additional facilities necessary for the development and production of this surplus and an estimate of the related costs. The Contractor shall then be entitled to proceed with development and production of this surplus Associated Natural Gas in accordance with the development and production program approved by the Government under the conditions set forth in article 11.3.6, and the provisions of the Agreement applicable to Crude Oil shall apply mutatis mutandis to the surplus Associated Natural Gas, subject to the special provisions set forth in article 21.3. A similar procedure shall be applicable if the sale or the marketing of the Associated Natural Gas is decided mutually by the Parties during production of the Field.
Associated Natural Gas. 13.2.1 In the event that a Discovery of Crude Oil is considered to be a Commercial Discovery, the Contractor shall state in the report referred to in Article 5.3 whether it considers that the Production of Associated Natural Gas is likely to exceed the quantities necessary for the requirements of Petroleum Operations relating to the Production of Crude Oil (including re-injection operations), and whether it considers that such excess is capable of being produced in commercial quantities. In the event the Contractor has informed the Ministry of such an excess, the Ministry and the Contractor shall jointly assess the possible markets and uses for such excess of Associated Natural Gas, both on the local market and for export (including the possibility of joint marketing of their shares of Production of that excess of Associated Natural Gas in the event such excess would not otherwise be commercially exploitable), together with the means necessary for its marketing.
Associated Natural Gas. 18.1.1 The Associated Natural Gas produced from the Oil Field within the Contract Area shall be primarily used for purposes related to the operations of production and production enhancement of Oil Field such as gas injection, gas lifting and power generation.
Associated Natural Gas. 15.4 In the event of a discovery of a commercially exploitable deposit of Crude Petroleum containing Associated Natural Gas, the Contractor shall indicate in the report provided for in
Associated Natural Gas. 13.2.1 In the event that a Discovery of Crude Oil is considered to be a Commercial Discovery, the Contractor will state in the report referred to in Article 5.3 whether it considers that the Production of Associated Natural Gas is likely to exceed the quantities necessary for the requirements of Petroleum Operations relating to the Production of Crude Oil (including reinjection operations), and whether it considers that such excess is capable of being produced in commercial quantities. If the Contractor has informed the Ministry of the excess, the Ministry and the Contractor will jointly assess the possible markets and uses for this excess Associated Natural Gas.
Associated Natural Gas. Blend of light Hydrocarbons that exist as a gas layer or solution state gas in the Reservoir, which is produced jointly with liquid Hydrocarbons.
Associated Natural Gas. 24.2.1 If there is a Commercial Discovery of Crude Oil, the Contractor shall state in the report to the Minister referred to in Article 4.6.5 whether it considers that the production of Associated Natural Gas is likely to exceed the quantities necessary for the requirements of the Hydrocarbons Operations related to the production of Crude Oil (including reinjection operations and field or platform use), and if it considers that such excess is capable of being produced in commercial quantities. If the Contractor shall have informed the Minister of such an excess, the Parties shall jointly evaluate the possible outlets for that excess Associated Natural Gas, both on the local market and for export (including the possibility of joint marketing), together with the means necessary for its marketing. If the Parties agree that the development of the excess Associated Natural Gas is justified, or if the Contractor wishes to develop and produce that excess Associated Natural Gas, the Contractor shall indicate in the Development and Production Plan referred to in Article 5 the additional facilities necessary for the development and exploitation of that excess and estimate the costs related thereto. The Contractor shall then have the right to proceed with the development and production of that excess in accordance with the Development and Production Plan approved by Council of Ministers under the terms provided by Article 5, and the provisions of the Contract applicable to Crude Oil shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the excess of Natural Gas, unless otherwise specifically provided by this Article 24. A similar procedure shall be applicable if the sale or marketing of Associated Natural Gas is decided during the exploitation of a Field.
Associated Natural Gas. Natural gas produced together with the reservoir’s Liquid Hydrocarbons.
Associated Natural Gas. If THE CONTRACTOR discovers one or more Commercial Fields with associated natural gas, it will present XXX a project for the use of the associated natural gas, in the three Years following the beginning of Production of each Commercial Field. If THE CONTRACTOR fails to perform this obligation, XXX may dispose of the associated natural gas coming from those fields, free of charge, subject to the legal provisions in force.
Associated Natural Gas. Contractor shall have the right to produce hydrocarbon liquids found within the Contract Area and to process Associated Natural Gas produced with any such liquids in order to extract such liquids for sale, provided that such processing can be conducted in a manner that is economically justified by Contractor. Liquids saved and sold shall be treated as Crude Oil. Subject to Contractor’s right pursuant to Article 11.1 and Article 15.4, residue Associated Natural Gas from such processing shall be delivered free of charge to SOCAR at the Delivery Point.
