"The established regime for hydrocarbon licensing and environmental issues will continue to operate," it said in a note.

"The government will amend the relevant legislation to ensure broad continuity. The legislative changes will have no impact on energy sector businesses, whose residual obligations under the legislation covered will remain unaltered."
