Oil and gas exploration reports are listed in SIGPEG
by year, type of work,
geological region, exploration
licence number and sequence number. |
|
| |
 |
| |
| |
Year
|
| |
File numbers always begin by the first year of work. |
| |
| |
Type of work |
| |
The database contains three main work categories:
- Geology (T)
- Geophysics (Y)
- Drilling (O)
During an “All type” search, you can
also consult documents identified by the letter “I”.
These are inspection reports drafted by MRN geologists following
an accidental discovery of natural gas. |
| |
| |
Geological region
|
| |
Québec is divided into six
geological regions, identified by letters A to G. |
| |
| |
Licence number
|
| |
The file number includes the licence number for each
type of work.
The licence number 000 is used to indicate that it was not possible,
when the source document (GM or report) was indexed, to indicate
the relationship with the licence issued for the work concerned,
since it was not noted in the report. In general, this is the case
for work carried out between 1885 and 1989. |
| |
| |
Sequential number
|
| |
The file number ends with a sequential number. |
| |
| |
Confidentiality period |
| |
A confidentiality period applies to all documents
filed by exploration companies.
Documents in the drilling (O) and geophysical survey
(Y) categories only become available three years after the
work is completed .
Documents in the geological work (T) category remain confidential
until the licence to explore for petroleum or natural gas under
which the work was carried out is abandoned, revoked or expires. |
