(b) The Minister may grant a departure from the requirement to remove a platform or other facility by approving partial structure removal or toppling in place for conversion to an artificial reef if the Contractor meets the following conditions: i. The structure becomes an artificial reef and the relevant Governmental agency accepts title and liability for the structure; and ii. Proposed Decommissioning satisfies any other Government agency’s requirement of navigational requirements for the structure. (c) The Contractor may apply to reuse or relocate the facility for conducting oil or gas development at another location, or for additional energy or marine-related purposes.

(ii) There shall be deducted from such total Decommissioning costs the additions made to the Decommissioning Costs Reserve made, and taken as Recoverable Costs, in all previous Calendar Years together with interest on such Recoverable Costs calculated to the approved date of Decommissioning at the actual or forecast rate of Uplift (whichever is applicable).
