Deep drilling ordinance
Tiefbohrverordnungen (abbreviated BAT or BVOT ) - in the long title to as "mining regulations for deep wells called, deep memory, and for the extraction of mineral resources by drilling" - are mining law regulations of the German federal states .
As the most important further law of the state mining sovereignty determined in Art. 74, Paragraph 1, No. 11 of the Basic Law , the Federal Mining Act (BBergG) in § 32 and § 68, Paragraph 1 empowers the state governments to issue statutory ordinances. In the interests of uniform federal regulations, several states have issued deep drilling ordinances that are coordinated with one another.
The deep drilling ordinances essentially regulate
- the exploration and extraction of mineral resources subject to mining laws , such as oil , natural gas or brine , through drilling ,
- the production and operation of deep storage facilities ,
- the introduction of substances through surface bores .
Other holes, e.g. B. for groundwater that should penetrate deeper than 100 m into the ground, are also subject to mining supervision according to § 127 BBergG ; The BVT / BVOT only apply to such bores if the drive power of the drilling tool is more than 20 kW .
