sec.18 Seismic survey report

This section applies if the holder of a GHG authority— carries out a seismic survey of the area of the authority; or reprocesses raw data obtained from a survey mentioned in paragraph (a) . The holder must give the chief executive in the required way a seismic survey report for the survey within 2 years after the completion day for the survey. The report must contain the following information— a description of the location of the area surveyed; a geological summary of the area surveyed; an index of previous seismic surveys carried out under the authority in the area and a summary of the results of the surveys; the objectives of the survey; the activities carried out for the survey, including, for example, details of the seismic lines used and the days on which the activities were carried out; a description of each method used to acquire raw data, including— the equipment used for positioning, surveying, navigation or other purposes; and the techniques and equipment used for recording and testing the data; a description of how the raw data was processed or reprocessed; an evaluation of the processed or reprocessed data, including an interpretation of the seismic horizons (seismic reflectors) and any leads or prospects identified from the data; spatial information showing the location of the seismic lines used for the survey; if the report is not accompanied by grid files for the area surveyed in digital form— structure contour spatial information showing the seismic horizons (seismic reflectors) in the area surveyed; and spatial information about the area showing variations in the thickness of stratigraphic units (isopach maps); any other information stated in the relevant direction for the report. The report must be accompanied, in digital form, by— each of the following— the raw data obtained from the survey and the record made as the data was recorded (commonly known as the ‘observer’s logs’); a list of the seismic lines used and the range of the numbered stations on each line; the surveyed location, including the elevation, of each seismic source and receiver point; the processed or reprocessed data derived from each seismic line used for the survey; a graphical representation of the data mentioned in subparagraph (iv) ; and if an activity for the survey was carried out by a contractor of the holder, a copy of any report given to the holder by the contractor for the activity. In this section— grid file , for an area, means a representation, on a close-spaced, regular grid, of an interpretation of time and depth to seismic horizons (seismic reflectors). s 18 amd 2022 SL No. 112 s 65 (sec.18-ssec.1) This section applies if the holder of a GHG authority— carries out a seismic survey of the area of the authority; or reprocesses raw data obtained from a survey mentioned in paragraph (a) . (sec.18-ssec.2) The holder must give the chief executive in the required way a seismic survey report for the survey within 2 years after the completion day for the survey. (sec.18-ssec.3) The report must contain the following information— a description of the location of the area surveyed; a geological summary of the area surveyed; an index of previous seismic surveys carried out under the authority in the area and a summary of the results of the surveys; the objectives of the survey; the activities carried out for the survey, including, for example, details of the seismic lines used and the days on which the activities were carried out; a description of each method used to acquire raw data, including— the equipment used for positioning, surveying, navigation or other purposes; and the techniques and equipment used for recording and testing the data; a description of how the raw data was processed or reprocessed; an evaluation of the processed or reprocessed data, including an interpretation of the seismic horizons (seismic reflectors) and any leads or prospects identified from the data; spatial information showing the location of the seismic lines used for the survey; if the report is not accompanied by grid files for the area surveyed in digital form— structure contour spatial information showing the seismic horizons (seismic reflectors) in the area surveyed; and spatial information about the area showing variations in the thickness of stratigraphic units (isopach maps); any other information stated in the relevant direction for the report. (sec.18-ssec.4) The report must be accompanied, in digital form, by— each of the following— the raw data obtained from the survey and the record made as the data was recorded (commonly known as the ‘observer’s logs’); a list of the seismic lines used and the range of the numbered stations on each line; the surveyed location, including the elevation, of each seismic source and receiver point; the processed or reprocessed data derived from each seismic line used for the survey; a graphical representation of the data mentioned in subparagraph (iv) ; and if an activity for the survey was carried out by a contractor of the holder, a copy of any report given to the holder by the contractor for the activity. (sec.18-ssec.5) In this section— grid file , for an area, means a representation, on a close-spaced, regular grid, of an interpretation of time and depth to seismic horizons (seismic reflectors).
