"THE REGULATOR'S PERSPECTIVE - BEST PRACTICE ACTIVITY APPROVAL PROCESSES FOR EGS PROJECTS (INCLUDING INDUCED SEISMICITY)"^^ . "Benign and valuable outcomes are key objectives for\r\ngeothermal industry activities. Trust in the capacity\r\nof both industry and regulators to deliver outcomes\r\nthat satisfy stakeholder expectations are the\r\nfoundation for investment and expeditious land\r\naccess and activity approvals. These principles and\r\npractices are especially important for operations\r\nperceived to be new and with uncertain risks\r\nImperatives to deliver benign outcomes and\r\nexpeditious land access motivate the behavior of the\r\nregulator for geothermal, upstream petroleum, high\r\npressure pipeline and gas storage operations in the\r\nState of South Australia. The legislative framework\r\nin South Australia (Petroleum and Geothermal\r\nEnergy Act 20001\r\n) and the behavior of the regulator,\r\nPrimary Industries and Resources – South Australia\r\n(PIRSA) are recognized by industry as “a relatively\r\nstraightforward regulatory system, which could be\r\nconsidered a benchmark for other jurisdictions”\r\n(Productivity Commission, 2009).\r\nThe regulatory instruments that have delivered both\r\ntrust and efficiency in South Australia are: nonprescriptive;\r\nallow for innovation while ensuring that\r\noperators demonstrate their ability to manage all\r\npossible risks to an acceptable level; and entail\r\nextensive stakeholder consultation to set standards\r\nwhich are aligned with community expectations.\r\nOperations in South Australia include internationally\r\nsignificant Enhanced Geothermal Systems (EGS)\r\ndevelopments. Recognizing EGS is (at least to the\r\npublic) a new technology with uncertain risks,\r\nPIRSA has taken account of international\r\ndevelopments (Majer, Baria and Stark, 2008) and\r\ncommissioned research (Hunt and Morelli, 2006 and\r\nMorelli and Malavazos, 2008) to increase certainty in\r\nrelation to risk management for EGS operations.\r\nThis paper describes the objective based, one-stopshop\r\napproach taken in South Australia to deliver expeditious land access and activity approvals, while\r\nbuilding trust in regulation and the geothermal\r\nindustry’s operations to deliver desired, benign,\r\nsustainable and successful outcomes. The basis for\r\ninformed activity approvals for EGS operations is\r\ndiscussed in some detail."^^ . "35" . . "Stanford University, Stanford Geothermal Program"^^ . .
