NON-ASSOCIATED GAS. (a) For Non-Associated Gas discovery pursuant to Sections 8.01 and 8.02 herein, the CONTRACTOR shall submit for the GOVERNMENT’s approval, an Appraisal Work Program not later than twenty-four (24) months from the submission of the discovery report. During this period the CONTRACTOR will conduct preliminary market studies in order to analyze the markets for the Non-Associated Gas as well as investigate such technical issues as reserve size ranges, deliverability and other issues pertaining to the exploitation of the Non-Associated Gas.
(b) Following the completion of the Appraisal Work Program and review of the potential of the discovery, the CONTRACTOR shall submit an appraisal report to the GOVERNMENT within one (1) Year from the completion of the last Appraisal Well. If the CONTRACTOR, with the approval of the GOVERNMENT, decides that the discovery is commercial, the Parties shall agree on a development plan for the Gas Field. The CONTRACTOR shall complete the gas sales contract(s) and other commercial and technical arrangements required to develop such Natural Gas. The CONTRACTOR shall negotiate and execute contracts for the sale of Non-Associated Gas, including the GOVERNMENT share, if the GOVERNMENT has not elected to get its share in the gas production in kind. The CONTRACTOR shall inform and coordinate with the GOVERNMENT about material developments in the negotiations that significantly affect its interest. The GOVERNMENT may elect to join the negotiations and such participation shall however not in any way restrict or limit the right of the CONTRACTOR to dispose of its share of Non-Associated Gas.
(c) If the Parties decide unanimously that a Non-Associated Gas reservoir is non- commercial, the corresponding area covered by the Non-Associated Gas reservoir may be retained in the Contract Area as long as the CONTRACTOR is actively seeking in good faith to solve technical issues and find a market for the Non- Associated Gas, but in no event can the CONTRACTOR retain the area longer than ten (10) years from the submission of the discovery report nor beyond the termination of this Contract.
(d) Prior to the expiration of the Exploration Period, if the CONTRACTOR together with the GOVERNMENT considers that a Non-Associated Gas reservoir which has been determined to be non-commercial needs to be reappraised because of some favorable factors, the CONTRACTOR shall work out a new evaluation report on that Non- Associated Gas reservoir and submit the same to...
NON-ASSOCIATED GAS. 14.8 Licensee shall notify the Director General in writing as soon as any discovery of Non- Associated Gas is made in the Licence Area.
14.9 As soon as possible after the technical evaluation of the test results of such discovery is complete and, in any event, not later than one hundred eighty days (180) days from the date of Discovery, Licensee shall by a further notice in writing to The Director General (the “Notice”) indicate whether in Licensee’s opinion the Discovery merits Appraisal.
NON-ASSOCIATED GAS. Contractor shall notify the Minister in writing as soon as any Discovery of Non-Associated Gas is made in the Contract Area.
NON-ASSOCIATED GAS. (a) When the Contractor in accordance with Article 8.2 has informed the Minister of any non - associated gas discovery within the contract area that is of potential commercial interest, the Parties shall promptly carry out friendly negotiations to reach agreement on the additional terms necessary for commercial development and production of the discovery. The agreement, which shall form an annex to this Agreement, shall be based on and include the following principles- The petroleum production licence shall be extended as may be required to allow for commitment of the reserves for the life of the gas project and consistent with the terms for marketing that may be negotiated with the buyers of the gas. The cost recovery rate and the Contractor’s profit gas share shall be negotiated by the Parties taking into consideration the actual conditions in the gas field and the markets for such gas so that the Contractor shall be able to obtain an economic benefit acceptable to the Contractor. If the Parties fail to reach an agreement within three (3) years after the date of commencement of negotiations, the Government shall have the right unilaterally to put up the gas field for bidding but shall keep as confidential the substance of any previous and future negotiations undertaken with Contractor.

NON-ASSOCIATED GAS a naturally occurring gas that is not dissolved in crude oil in a reservoir where oil is extracted. This gas is also found in gas and condensate xxxxx where there is little or no crude oil present. There may or may not be condensate production together with the gas.
NON-ASSOCIATED GAS. In case of a Discovery of Non-Associated Gas in the Contract Region, the Contractor must present a report in accordance with the prescriptions of this Contract. If the Contractor considers that the Discovery is worth evaluating, it must evaluate, with an estimation of the reserves, the production potential, as well as the economic viability. In that report, the Contractor should also declare if the Discovery is commercially viable. If the Contractor considers that the Discovery of the Non-Associated Gas is not worth evaluating, the provisions related to the Crude Oil shall be applied mutatis mutandis.
NON-ASSOCIATED GAS. Natural gas produced from a dry Gas Mine or from a condesated Gas Mine.
NON-ASSOCIATED GAS. The provisions of Articles 13.1, 13.2 and 14.1 shall apply mutatis mutandis in case of Non-Associated Gas Discovery.
NON-ASSOCIATED GAS. 17.3.1 If a Discovery of Non-Associated Gas occurs in the Contract Area, the Contractor must submit a report in accordance with the provisions of the present Contract. If the Contractor deems that the Discovery is worth being evaluated, it must prepare an evaluation, including a reserve estimate, of the production potential, the development costs and the production costs as well as of the economic viability.

During the calendar year following the date of submission of the detailed evaluation report of the Contractor, the Parties must meet in order to determine if the sale points and other pertinent factors justify its development and production for sale on the domestic market and/or if it is considered that this market is not big enough and therefore the Gas must be exported.
17.3.3 If the Contractor deems that the development of the Discovery of the Non-Associated Gas is justified, it must submit to the Minister a General Development Program for said Discovery and the provisions relating to the commercial discovery and those relating to the Government participation shall apply to the development and production of said Gas as if it concerned Crude Oil. If the Contractor deems that the development of the Discovery of Non-Associated Gas is not justified, the provisions relating to the Crude Oil shall then apply mutatis mutandis to the development and production of said Gas.
17.3.4 If it has been determined that the Discovery of Non-Associated Gas cannot be used on the domestic market while the Contractor considers that said Discovery of Non-Associated Gas may be commercially viable for export, the Contractor shall then be free to develop the Gas Field provided that it submits to the Minister a General Development Program.
