If, after the discovery of petroleum or natural gas in commercial quantities, the holder of an exploration licence does not apply for an operating lease, the Minister may, in writing, require him to do so within ninety days, as regards land containing the discovery well within its perimeter and, failing such application, may cancel the licence.
