(a)  the perimeter of the licence;

(b)  the activity site, survey lines and traverses with their nature, numbering and length;

(a)  in the case of seismic reflection surveying, the time structure map and the isochrone map of the main target and, if applicable, the secondary target and the interpreted profiles; if the stratigraphy of an adjacent wellbore is known, the holder must carry out the matching of the seismic profile nearest to the hole and indicate the correlation between the main reflectors and the stratigraphy;

(b)  in the case of seismic refraction surveying, the velocity map;

(c)  in the case of magnetic surveying, the map for the total magnetic field corrected and offset and the map for the residual magnetic field corrected and offset;

(d)  in the case of gravimetric surveying, the maps of Bouguer anomalies and of the residual field;

(20)  an analysis of each of the interpretation maps specifying the correlation between the geology and the geophysical data;

(21)  if applicable, the technical reports prepared by the enterprises that carried out the data processing or interpretation;

(22)  a comparative analysis of the work carried out compared with that planned in the technical program and the results obtained compared with those anticipated;

(23)  a description and photographs of the equipment used and its specifications;

(24)  photographs of the bottom of the water;

(25)  bathymetric maps prepared from the surveyed data; and

(26)  the recommendations for the continuation of the work.

If required and based on the area of the work, the holder may, for the purposes of subparagraph 15 of the first paragraph, submit a number of maps at different scales.
