15. Application for a well drilling licence, including well re-entry shall be made to the Minister in the form in Schedule II, not less than 30 days prior to the commencement of drilling operations.
The application must be accompanied by the following documents:
(1) a cadastral map or failing that, a topographic map, scale 1:20 000, illustrating the location of the proposed drilling;
(2) where drilling is carried out in an area covered by water, a report indicating the depth of the water, the nature of the seafloor and marine currents;
(3) a drilling program certified by an engineer who can prove training or experience in drilling indicating:
(a) the type of drilling rig that will be used to carry out the operations and its specifications;
(b) a chronological description of the technical operations to be carried out during drilling;
(c) a graphic projection of the formation pressure to the total planned depth;
(d) a graphic projection of the deviation and the drilling angle to the total planned depth;
(4) a geological projection, certified by a geologist or an engineer who can prove training or experience in operations geology, comprising:
(a) a stratigraphic column showing the projected horizons and their thickness;
(b) anticipated hydrocarbon objectives;
(c) an interpreted seismic profile indicating the top of geologic formations, the shotpoint corresponding to the drilling location, the projected drilling deviation to its total depth, and the location of projected objectives of primary and secondary hydrocarbons;
(5) a program of evaluation of the well certified by an engineer who can prove training or experience in drilling indicating the nature of the gas detecting system, the different core zones, the drill-stem test program and the wireline logs;
(6) payment of the fee in the amount of $4,462
The drilling program referred to in subparagraph 3 of the second paragraph must indicate that operations will be carried out according to recognized practices so as to ensure the safety of persons, property and the environment as well as the sustainability of the resource. In the case of the drilling of a well for exploration or operation of an underground reservoir, the requirements in the second paragraph of section 115 must be met, with the necessary modifications.
