(b) Based on the principle of full utilization of the Associated Gas and with no impediment to normal production of the Crude Oil, the Overall Development Program of each Oil Field shall include a plan of utilization of Associated Natural Gas. If there is any excess Associated Gas remaining in any Oil Field after utilization pursuant to Section 13.01(a) herein, the CONTRACTOR shall carry out a feasibility study regarding the commercial utilization of such excess Associated Gas. Such feasibility study, if carried out before the Development Operations of an Oil Field, shall be included as part of the feasibility study on the development of the Oil Field.
(i) If the Parties agree that excess Associated Gas has no commercial value, then such gas shall be disposed of by the CONTRACTOR, provided that there is no impediment to normal production of the Crude Oil.
(ii) If the Parties agree that excess Associated Gas has commercial value, the CONTRACTOR shall complete the gas sales contract(s) and other commercial and technical arrangements required to develop such Associated Gas with prior approval of the DEPARTMENT. The CONTRACTOR shall negotiate and execute contracts for the sale of Associated Gas, including the Government share, if the DEPARTMENT has not elected to get its share in the gas production in kind. The CONTRACTOR shall inform the DEPARTMENT about material developments in the negotiations that significantly affect the interest of the DEPARTMENT, and coordinate with the DEPARTMENT on such matters. The DEPARTMENT may elect to join the negotiations. Such participation of the DEPARTMENT in the negotiations shall however not in any way restrict or limit the right of CONTRACTOR to dispose of its share of Associated Gas.
(iii) If any Party considers that excess Associated Gas has commercial value while the other Party considers that excess Associated Gas has no commercial value, the Party which considers excess Associated Gas to have commercial value may utilize such excess Associated Gas, at its own cost and expense and without impeding the production of Crude Oil and without affecting the shares of Crude Oil and Gas otherwise allocable to the Parties under the other provisions of ...

Macro-Group: set of properties, services, and equipment purchased or contracted by the Concessionaires to develop the activities in the segments defined under this Agreement with specific Local content commitments. Best Practices of the Oil Industry: The best and safest procedures and technologies available in the oil and gas industry worldwide intended to: (i) ensure the operational safety of the facilities, preserving life, physical integrity, and human health; (ii) preserve the environment and protect adjacent communities; (iii) prevent or reduce as much as possible the risk of spill of oil, natural gas, by-products, and other chemicals that may be hazardous to the environment; (iv) preserve oil and gas resources, which implies the use of adequate methods and processes to maximize the recovery of hydrocarbons in a technical, economic, and environmentally sustainable way, with the corresponding control of the reserve decline, and to mitigate surface losses; (v) minimize consumption of natural resources in the Operations. In order to perform the Best Practices of the Oil Industry, the Concessionaires shall rely on the standards issued by ANP and other Brazilian public bodies, incorporating technical standards and recommendations of internationally recognized bodies and associations of the oil industry, whenever such measures increase the chances to achieve the objectives listed above.
Associated Gas a. The CONTRACTOR (on its own behalf and on behalf of Range Resources) shall deliver the Associated Gas to the point where it is separated from the Crude Oil. Any costs with respect to such delivery to the STATE, including but not limited to, any increase in the CONTRACTOR’S costs (on its own behalf and on behalf of Range Resources) as a result of such delivery, shall be paid by the STATE. Any Associated Gas that is not taken by the STATE or that is not utilized in the Petroleum Operations, as aforesaid may be treated by the CONTRACTOR (on its own behalf and on behalf of Range Resources) in accordance with good Petroleum Industry Practices.
b. Subject to paragraph 27.1, if the STATE considers the possibility of entering into an agreement with any party for the export and sale of the Associated Gas or its delivery to the DEPARTMENT for local consumption (the Project), the DEPARTMENT and the CONTRACTOR shall meet for the purpose of reaching a mutual agreement on the terms and conditions of the Project Agreement. Any such Gas Project Agreement shall be based on the following principles:
(i) The STATE’s share in the Project shall not be more than [REDACTED - SENSITIVE BUSINESS INFORMATION] percent.
(ii) The CONTRACTOR shall initially bear all costs and expenses related to the Project including those related to the construction and operation of the facilities and shall be reimbursed from the Annual Gas Revenue according to the terms of the Project Agreement.
(iii) If an agreement is not reached as contemplated above within Six

If there is any excess associated gas in the oil field after utilization pursuant to Article 12.1 (a), the Contractor shall carry out a feasibility study regarding the utilization of such excess associated gas of such oil field. Such feasibility study, if carried out before submission of the development plan of an oil field, shall be included in the development plan. In the event that the Contractor conducts a further feasibility study of the utilization of the excess associated gas of such oil field, such further feasibility study shall be submitted to the GGMC for review and discussion. If the excess associated gas in any oil field is utilized, the construction of facilities for such utilization and the production of excess associated gas shall be carried out while a petroleum production licence continues in force.-
