55. The authorization holder must send to the Minister, within the period provided for in section 100 of the Act, an end of activities report signed by a geologist, an engineer or a geophysicist including, in particular,

(1)  the number of the geophysical surveying authorization;

(2)  the name and contact information of the holder and the licence number;

(3)  the name and contact information of the geologist, engineer or geophysicist responsible for the technical program;

(4)  the name of the enterprises that took part in the work and the nature of the work;

(5)  the name of the region in which the surveying was carried out;

(6)  the type of surveying conducted and the energy sources used;

(7)  the acquisition parameters and the objectives of the surveying including in particular structures, geological formations targeted, the type of exploration target sought and the investigation depth;

(8)  the total number of linear kilometres acquired or the area covered by the surveying;

(9)  the start and end dates of the work;

(10)  the summary of the work carried out in chronological order;

(11)  a compilation of the daily progress of the work;

(12)  a topographic map at a sufficient scale showing

(a)  the perimeter of the licence;

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

(c)  the points of energy source and their numbering; and

(d)  the roads included in the perimeter of the licence;

(13)  a description of the data acquisition parameters indicating, in particular,

(a)  the spacing between the points of the energy source, the receiver points and, if applicable, between the survey lines;

(b)  the characteristics of the energy source used; and

(c)  if applicable, the setting of the recording filters;

(14)  a description of the data processing parameters;

(15)  the adjustments made to the data during the interpretation;

(16)  the following interpretation maps:

(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;

(e)  in the case of spectrometric surveying, a map of the natural petroleum spill areas on the surface and, if applicable, a map of the anomalies in potassium, uranium and thorium;

(f)  in the case of electrical resistivity surveying, a map or a profile of the apparent resistivity including, if applicable, potential faults, the depth of zones and their thickness;

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

(18)  if applicable, the technical reports drawn up by the enterprises that carried out the data processing or interpretation;

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

(20)  a description and photographs of the equipment used and their specifications;

(21)  in the case of a surveying involving an explosive energy source, the coordinates of all misfirings according to the NAD83 map reference system and a description of the corrective measures taken;

(22)  in the case of a surveying involving the drilling of a shotpoint, the coordinates of the holes in which there is a groundwater spill on the surface or a gas kick according to the NAD83 map reference system and a description of the corrective measures taken; and

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

If required and based on the area of the surveying, the holder may, for the purposes of subparagraph 12 of the first paragraph, submit a number of maps at different scales.
