| 2022, Jan 18 | On January 14, 2022, five ELs were relinquished by Chevron (1) and Equinor (4), as validating wells were not drilled in Period I and no drilling deposit has been filed to extend these licences by 1 year. In addition to these relinquishments, the forfeiture amount for previously relinquished EL 1136 by ExxonMobil, was recently finalized. These forfeitures total $111,499,872.51 and can be found in the updated Financial Data Respecting Exploration Licences Issued table. The forfeiture amount for the relinquished Chevron EL 1138 will be determined and available on the C-NLOPB website, once finalized in the coming months. In addition, EL 1144 was surrendered by CNOOC prior to entering Period II, having been validated with the Pelles well drilling program. The forfeiture amount will be determined following the review of the Allowable Expenditure Credit application, which is anticipated to be received in Q1 of 2022. The C-NLOPB is responsible for collecting certain fees, forfeitures and rentals. These amounts are collected and recorded by the Receiver General for Canada. Natural Resources Canada acts as a flow-through by transferring forfeiture amounts to the Government of Newfoundland and Labrador. |
