Criteria for evaluation of risk degree when carrying out transactions on subsurface use in the field of hydrocarbons

Chapter 1. General provisions

1. These Criteria for evaluation of risk degree when carrying out transactions on subsurface use in the field of hydrocarbons (further – Criteria) are developed according to Item 5 of article 141 of the Entrepreneurial code of the Republic of Kazakhstan (further – the Entrepreneurial code), the Code of the Republic of Kazakhstan "About subsoil and subsurface use" (further – the Code) and Rules of forming by the regulatory state agencies of system of assessment and risk management approved by the order of the acting minister of national economy of the Republic of Kazakhstan of June 22, 2022 No. 48 (it is registered in the Register of state registration of regulatory legal acts for No. 28577) for the purpose of reference of subjects (objects) of control in the field of control when carrying out transactions on subsurface use in the field of hydrocarbons on risk degrees.

2. In Criteria the following concepts are used:

1) the subject of control – the physical persons or legal entities having rights of carrying out transactions on subsurface use in the field of hydrocarbons and also physical persons or legal entities the right of carrying out transactions on subsurface use of which is stopped;

2) insignificant violations – the violations connected with:

non-compliance with the requirement for the direction annually in authorized body in the field of hydrocarbons of reports on accomplishment of development programs of conversion of sour gas;

non-compliance with the requirement for independent testing of each productive layer in case of approbation of layer and testing of wells (for the term established by the project document, but no more than 90 (ninety) days for each object of testing with carrying out complex of trade and geological and hydrodynamic researches);

absence in technological operating mode of wells of technological regulation of selection of liquid – for each production well and amount of the forced forcing-out agent (susceptibility) – for each delivery well;

lack of technological operating modes of the production wells which are constituted monthly or once in quarter depending on stability of conditions of development of object. Along with technological operating modes of production wells the plan of geological and technical actions for ensuring regulations of selection of liquid from wells and operational object in general is constituted and affirms;

non-compliance with requirements to forming of tender committee according to Rules of acquisition by subsoil users and their contractors of the goods, works and services used when carrying out the transactions on investigation or hydrocarbon production and production of uranium approved by the order of the Minister of Energy of the Republic of Kazakhstan of May 18, 2018 No. 196 (it is registered in the Register of state registration of regulatory legal acts for No. 17122) (further – Rules);

non-compliance with requirements to placement of the announcement of holding open tender and the tender documentation in the register (system) according to Rules;

3) considerable violations – the violations connected with availability of information on carrying out activities in the field of production and (or) turnover of oil and gas condensate, transactions on production, and (or) turnover of crude oil and gas condensate without equipment of production facilities metering devices;

non-compliance with binding regulation of the Code;

4) gross violations – the violations connected with availability of information on combustion of gas without the permission of authorized body on analysis results of reports on the actual monthly production of associated and natural gas about monthly information on movement of associated and natural gas, about annual information according to the plan of production of associated and natural gas, and also the report on accomplishment of the development program of conversion of sour gas;

non-compliance with the prohibiting Code regulation;

availability of three confirmed facts of claims or addresses in the analyzed period concerning violation of requirements of Rules;

5) risk – probability of damnification as a result of activities of the subject of control of life or to health of the person, the environment, legitimate interests of physical persons and legal entities, valuable interests of the state taking into account severity of its effects;

6) criteria for evaluation of risk degree – set of the quantitative and qualitative indexes connected with the direct activities of the subject of control, features of industry development and factors influencing this development, allowing to carry subjects (objects) of control to different risk degrees;

7) objective criteria for evaluation of risk degree (further – objective criteria) – the criteria for evaluation of risk degree used for selection of subjects (objects) of control depending on risk degree in certain field of activity and which are not depending directly on separate subject (object) of control;

8) subjective criteria for evaluation of risk degree (further – subjective criteria) – the criteria for evaluation of risk degree used for selection of subjects (objects) of control depending on results of activities of specific subject (object) of control;

9) system of assessment and risk management – process of acceptance of the management decisions directed to decrease in probability of approach of adverse factors by distribution of subjects (objects) of control on risk degrees for the subsequent implementation of preventive control with visit of subject (object) of control and (or) checks on compliance to requirements for the purpose of minimum possible extent of restriction of freedom of enterprise, providing at the same time admissible risk level in the corresponding fields of activity, and also directed to change of risk level for specific subject (object) of control and (or) release of such subject (object) of control from preventive control with visit of subject (object) of control and (or) checks on compliance to requirements.

3. For risk management objectives when implementing preventive control with visit of subject (object) of control subjects (objects) of control belong to one of the following risk degrees (further – risk degrees):

1) high risk;

2) average risk;

3) low risk.

4. Criteria for evaluation of risk degree for carrying out preventive control of subjects (objects) control are created by means of determination of objective and subjective criteria.

Chapter 2. Objective criteria

5. Determination of objective criteria is performed by means of risk identification.

6. Risk identification is performed taking into account one of the following criteria:

1) level of danger (complexity) of object;

2) scales of weight of possible negative effects, harm on the regulated sphere (area);

3) possibilities of approach of adverse incident for life or health of the person, environment, legitimate interests of physical persons and legal entities, states.

7. The subjects of control which are the physical persons or legal entities having rights of carrying out transactions on subsurface use on hydrocarbon production (having the contract for subsurface use) treat high risk.

The subjects of control which are the physical persons or legal entities having rights of carrying out transactions on subsurface use on investigation of hydrocarbons (having the contract for subsurface use) treat average risk degree.

The subjects of control which are physical persons or legal entities which right of carrying out transactions on subsurface use in the field of hydrocarbons is stopped treat low risk degree.

8. Subjective criteria for the purpose of carrying out preventive control with visit of subject (object) of control are applied to subjects (objects) of control carried to high and average risk degree.

Chapter 3. Subjective criteria

9. Determination of subjective criteria is performed using the following stages:

1) forming of the database and information collection;

2) information analysis and risk assessment;

10. Forming of the database and information collection are necessary for identification of subjects (objects) of control violating the law of the Republic of Kazakhstan.

For assessment of risk degree the following sources of information are used:

1) results of monitoring of the reporting and the data represented by the subject of control to authorized body in the field of hydrocarbons (further – results of monitoring of the reporting and data);

2) results of the previous checks and preventive control with visit of subjects (objects) of control. At the same time, severity of violations (rough, considerable, insignificant) is established in case of non-compliance with the requirements of the legislation reflected in checking sheets;

3) availability and the number of the confirmed claims and addresses;

4) analysis results of the data represented by state bodies and the organizations.

11. Based on the available information sources subjective criteria are subdivided into three extents of violation: rough, considerable and insignificant.

The following procedure of payments of exponent of risk is applied to reference of the subject of control to risk degree.

In case of identification of one gross violation to the subject of control the exponent of risk 100 is equated and concerning it preventive control with visit of subject (object) of control is carried out.

In case of not identification of gross violations of measure definition of risk degree is calculated total indicator on violations of considerable and insignificant degree.

In case of measure definition of considerable violations the coefficient of 0,7 is applied and this indicator is calculated by the following formula:

SRZ = (SP2 x 100/SP1) x 0,7,

where:

SRZ – indicator of considerable violations;

SP1 – the required number of considerable violations;

SP2 – the number of the revealed considerable violations.

In case of measure definition of insignificant violations the coefficient of 0,4 is applied and this indicator is calculated by the following formula:

SRN = (SP2 x 100/SP1) x 0,4,

where:

SRN – indicator of insignificant violations;

SP1 – the required number of insignificant violations;

SP2 – the number of the revealed insignificant violations.

The general exponent of risk (SP) is calculated on scale from 0 to 100 and is determined by summing of indicators of considerable and insignificant violations by the following formula:

SP = SRZ + SRN,

where:

SP – general exponent of risk;

SRZ – indicator of considerable violations;

SRN – indicator of insignificant violations.

The received value of general indicator is the basis of reference of the subject of entrepreneurship to one of the following risk degrees:

1) to high risk – in case of exponent of risk from 71 to 100 inclusive and concerning it preventive control with visit of subject (object) of control is carried out;

2) to average risk degree – in case of exponent of risk from 41 to 70 inclusive and concerning it preventive control with visit of subject (object) of control is carried out;

3) to low risk degree – in case of exponent of risk from 0 to 40 inclusive and concerning it preventive control with visit of subject (object) of control is not carried out.

Subjective criteria for evaluation of risk degree when carrying out transactions on subsurface use in the field of hydrocarbons concerning the physical persons or legal entities having rights of carrying out transactions on subsurface use on investigation of hydrocarbons are given on the land in appendix 1 to these Criteria.

Subjective criteria for evaluation of risk degree when carrying out transactions on subsurface use in the field of hydrocarbons concerning the physical persons or legal entities having rights of carrying out transactions on subsurface use on hydrocarbon production are given on the land in appendix 2 to these Criteria.
