The Allowable Rate of Production (ARP) controls the volume of gas that can be produced from a gas well in a 24-hour period.
As outlined in Directive PNG011: Allowable Rate of Production: Gas Wells, gas wells completed on-target or off-target are assigned a minimum ARP of 10,000 m3/day, unless the well has been completed in a defined pool where Good Production Practice (GPP) has been granted. The minimum ARP is applied to the gas well automatically by the Integrated Resource Information System (IRIS).
An operator can apply to the Ministry of Energy and Resources for a higher daily allowable rate.
All off-target gas wells are subject to a penalized allowable unless the operator has evidence they have applied for and have been granted a waiver of penalty, or where GPP has been granted, by the ministry.
An application for a higher daily allowable rate can be made when:
Once an application package is submitted through IRIS it cannot be modified by the applicant. Any subsequent changes or additions require resubmission.
The effective date for a gas well to produce at the minimum ARP of 10,000m3/day is the date of first production.
If the application for an increased daily allowable rate is received by the ministry before the date of first production, the effective date of the applied for daily allowable is the date of first production. If the application for the daily allowable rate increase is received by the ministry after the date of first production, the effective date of the applied for daily allowable rate is the first day of the calendar month following the receipt date of the application.
