On September 24, ANP published Resolution No. 852/2021, which will regulate production of oil and natural gas byproducts, as well as their storage, sale, and services. The goal is to make the regulatory process easier and reduce costs for agents and for the ANP itself, maintaining the best operational safety practices in production. The new standard combines the regulatory framework to produce oil and natural gas byproducts, consolidating the activities of oil refining (ANP Resolution No. 16/2010), natural gas processing (ANP Resolution No. 17/2010), gasoline formulation and diesel oil (ANP Resolution No. 5/2012) and fuel production in petrochemical plants (ANP Ordinances No. 84/2001 and No. 317/2001). In all, 11 normative acts are being revoked (the five norms and another six ancillary ones). The resolution will take effect on October 1, 2021.
