title = "Oil and Gas Licences – A legal perspective: the Netherlands",
abstract = "The first oil was found onshore in 1924 but large scale petroleum production began after WW II. Following the discovery of the onshore gas field near Groningen in 1959, the interest gradually switched to the North Sea. The Dutch licensing regime is influenced by two significant developments: a) the impact of French law following the French reign from 1795 to 1813, and b) the role of the EU and EU hydrocarbons legislation. Whereas onshore activities largely followed the principles of the 1810 French Mining Act, the need to implement the Hydrocarbons Directive led to a revision of the entire mining regime. However, some legal issues are still unresolved.",
