that are being, or could be, carried on under an existing greenhouse gas injection licence or an existing cross‑boundary greenhouse gas injection licence, the Minister must not give the approval under section 122 unless the registered holder of the greenhouse gas injection licence or cross‑boundary greenhouse gas injection licence has agreed, in writing, to the applicant carrying on the key petroleum operations in respect of which the Minister is so satisfied.
