NTL 2000-G17 - Suspension of Production/Operations Overview - September 1, 2000

The Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act as amended requires the prompt and efficient exploration and development of your leased block. As such, you are expected to explore, develop and commence production within the initial period of any offshore Federal lease. However, under certain criteria, you may request a lease or unit suspension, which extends the term of the lease or unit. For the purposes of this document, all references made to a lease may also apply to a unit.
