Dormant Sites Annual Work Plans [BCOGC-60133]
This data-set compiles into one location the information contained within permit holders’ Annual Work Plan submissions which are required under Section 11 of the Dormancy & Shutdown Regulation (DSR). The Annual Work Plan reflects what closure work (decommissioning, assessment, or restoration) permit holders intend to complete during a given calendar year. In many cases the data will include sites which are non-dormant where closure work is planned. This is an annual update that uses an inventory of dormant sites and joins it to the geometry of the existing Wells Surface Hole data-set. The Wells Surface Hole data-set provides non-confidential information about the surface location of a well.
