sec.38 Seismic survey reports

This section applies if the holder of a petroleum tenure— carries out a seismic survey of an area of the tenure; or for a 2004 Act petroleum tenure—carries out a seismic survey of an area subject to a data acquisition authority to which the tenure relates; or reprocesses raw data obtained from a survey mentioned in paragraph (a) or (b) . The tenure holder must lodge a seismic survey report within— for a survey mentioned subsection (1) (a) or (b) —2 years after the completion day for the survey; or if the tenure holder reprocesses raw data obtained as mentioned in subsection (1) (c) —2 years after the day the reprocessing is completed. The report must contain the following information— a description of the location of the area surveyed; 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; any other data or information for the report required under the practice direction. The report must be accompanied by— each of the following in digital form— the raw data obtained in relation to 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; and if an activity for the survey was carried out by a contractor of the tenure holder, a copy of any report given to the holder by the contractor in relation to the activity; and spatial information showing the location of the seismic lines used for the survey. s 38 amd 2019 SL No. 53 s 19 ; 2020 SL No. 208 s 15 (sec.38-ssec.1) This section applies if the holder of a petroleum tenure— carries out a seismic survey of an area of the tenure; or for a 2004 Act petroleum tenure—carries out a seismic survey of an area subject to a data acquisition authority to which the tenure relates; or reprocesses raw data obtained from a survey mentioned in paragraph (a) or (b) .
