The 2005 regime continues to apply to the submission of a well notification by a well operator in respect of, or execution by such an operator of a well operation from—
a non-production installation to which paragraph 3 applies, for the period that it applies to the owner of that installation in accordance with that paragraph;
from a production installation to which paragraph 4 applies, for the period that it applies to the operator of that installation in accordance with that paragraph; and
a vessel that is not an installation, for the period which starts on the commencement date and ends immediately before 19th July 2016.
Despite sub-paragraph (1)(b) the 2005 regime ceases to apply to—
the submission of a well notification in respect of a production installation; or
the execution of a well operation from such an installation,
on 19th July 2016.
Nothing in sub-paragraph (2) affects the application of paragraph 4 to the operator of the relevant production installation.
