Above-commitment work variations of the conditions
6.6. The permittee may, at any time within a permit year, apply to include significant
above-commitment seismic surveying or drilling work into the guaranteed work
program with a view to identifying a potential greenhouse gas storage formation or
greenhouse gas injection site.
6.7. In deciding whether to vary the guaranteed work program the responsible
Commonwealth Minister is likely to consider whether the permittee has demonstrated
a significant effort to identify a potential greenhouse gas storage formation or
greenhouse gas injection site prospect.
6.8. In such circumstances, the responsible Commonwealth Minister may also agree to
grant a period of up to twelve months suspension with a corresponding extension of
the permit term to provide sufficient time for the permittee to undertake the abovecommitment surveying or drilling work. An application for a suspension, or GHG ASSESSMENT PERMIT CONDITIONS AND ADMINISTRATION 5
suspension with an extension of the permit term, must be submitted with the variation
application.
6.9. The permittee may also, at any time within the current permit year, apply for a
variation of the specified work requirements to include other significant abovecommitment work into the work program for that year, where that work is assessed to
have critical implications for the permittee’s forward assessment strategy for the
permit area I can cherry pick to.
