Therefore,the focus of these guidelines is on the up and mid-stream sectors of petroleum industry. Petroleum companies shall observe requirements of these guidelines in handling waste from petroleum operations. Requirements imposed by enacted,Kenyan law is mandatory for the responsible duty holder,as specified in legislation (section 4 of these guidelines). The term ?must?indicates a requirement,while terms such as ?recommends?,?expects?,?should? indicate recommendations based on international best practice,rather than on Kenyan law.
