sec.5 Proposed work program— Act , s 47
For section 47 (1) (f) of the Act , the following matters are prescribed— a description of the geological model for the geothermal reservoirs in the area of the proposed geothermal permit; an assessment of the potential for the discovery of geothermal resources in the area of the proposed geothermal permit; an estimate of the recoverable thermal energy in the area using units of petajoules thermal (PJ th ) the geoscientific information, standards and procedures used to make the estimate of recoverable geothermal energy an explanation of the rationale, having regard to the geological model mentioned in paragraph (a) , for the activities proposed to be carried out under the proposed geothermal permit; an outline of the expected outcomes to be achieved by the proposed work program.
