What it does
The Fuels Sector delivers the Statutory Offshore Payments Program that monitors and facilitates payment disbursal agreements and transfer payments under the Atlantic Offshore Accord Acts. This program ensures that the provinces of Nova Scotia and Newfoundland and Labrador and offshore petroleum boards receive the statutory payments in relation to the offshore oil and gas development in their joint management area. The four key areas of the program are: Payments to the Newfoundland Offshore Petroleum Resource Revenue Fund; Transfers to the Nova Scotia Offshore Revenue Account; Payments to the Canada-Newfoundland and Labrador Offshore Petroleum Boards; and, Payments to the Canada-Nova Scotia Offshore Petroleum Board.
