NL24-CFB01 号招标的获胜者将根据投标人承诺在九年许可证的前六年内用于勘探地块的最高资金总额来选择。
加拿大纽芬兰和拉布拉多近海石油委员会 (C-NLOPB) 正在就东纽芬兰地区的石油和天然气勘探许可证进行招标。
招标编号为 NL24-CFB01，由41 个地块组成，总面积为 10,287,196 公顷。其中 32 块土地此前可通过单独招标或通过放弃皇家土地获得。其他九个地块是新的，是在 NL06-EN 区域上设计的，并考虑了利益相关者之前提名征集的意见。
地块的最低出价是 1000 万美元的工作承诺。获胜者的选择是基于投标人承诺在九年许可证的前六年（称为第一期）期间用于勘探地块的最高总金额。
本次招标中的一些地块与东北纽芬兰斜坡海洋保护区重叠。法规以及拟议石油和天然气活动的时间、空间范围和性质将决定所需额外限制的程度。该地区对于鱼类收割者来说非常重要，因此任何获得勘探许可证的公司都必须与渔业利益相关方进行接触，然后才能获得石油和天然气活动的授权。
投标截止日期为纽芬兰时间 11 月 6 日中午 12:00。成功的投标需要获得联邦以及纽芬兰和拉布拉多政府的批准才能获得勘探许可证。
C-NLOPB 不会在 2024 年继续对 Jeanne dérc 地区进行招标，但会每年重新评估。
Winners of the Call for Bids No. NL24-CFB01 will be selected based on the highest total of money the bidder commits to spend on exploration of a parcel during the first six years of a nine-year license.
The Canada-Newfoundland and Labrador Offshore Petroleum Board (C-NLOPB) is issuing a call for bids for oil and gas exploration licenses in the Eastern Newfoundland region.
The Call for Bids No. NL24-CFB01 consists of 41 parcels totaling 10,287,196 hectares. Out of those, 32 were previously available under either separate calls for bids or through relinquishment of Crown lands. The other nine parcels are new and designed over Sector NL06-EN with consideration from stakeholder input from a previous call for nominations.
The minimum bid for a parcel is $10 million in work commitments. Winners are selected based on the highest total of money the bidder commits to spend on exploration of a parcel during the first six years of a nine-year license, known as Period 1.
Some parcels in this call for bids overlaps with the Northeast Newfoundland Slope Marine Refuge. Regulations and the timing, spatial extent and nature of proposed oil and gas activities will determine the level of additional restrictions required. The region is important for fish harvesters, so any companies granted exploration licenses will be required to engage with fishing interests before oil and gas activities will be authorized.
The deadline for bids is Nov. 6 at 12:00 p.m. Newfoundland time. Successful bids will be required to receive ratification by the federal and Newfoundland and Labrador governments to be awarded any exploration licenses.
The C-NLOPB will not proceed with a call for bids in the Jeanne d’Arc Region in 2024, but will reevaluate on an annual basis.
