These include fisheries police activity in the South Atlantic, seismic hydrocarbon surveying activities and the granting of licences for the exploration and exploitation of minerals and related aeromagnetic surveying activities.

C. Geo prospecting

Most of the southern hemisphere is unexplored.

This is Octahedron. The pipe map is with us.

Exploration area

In relation to indigenous lands and territories, including sacred sites (may include exploration, such as archaeologic explorations, as well as development and use).

21. Shipping activity showed an increase most of it was fishing related, although some was a result of seismic survey vessels involved in oil exploration.

Biological prospecting

The increasing development of offshore oil exploration makes it necessary to work throughout the year with petroleum systems models based on the use of an increasing number of seismic lines.

In addition, there could be collective efforts to intensify oil and gas exploration, similar to the cooperative seismic operations that China, Viet Nam and the Philippines started last August in areas of the South China Sea that they claim competitively.

Section V The plan of work for exploration

Fatherland, Octahedron calling.

Contracts for exploration for polymetallic nodules

His Government continued to protest against and to reject all unilateral actions concerning the territory under dispute, including seismic prospecting for hydrocarbons and the sale of fishing licences in the area under dispute.

Coordinates and illustrative chart of the exploration area

The Authority shall ensure that no other entity operates in the exploration area for a different category of resources in a manner that might unreasonably interfere with the operations of the Contractor.

The contractor shall have the exclusive right to explore an area covered by a plan of work for exploration in respect of polymetallic sulphides or cobalt crusts.

This is Fatherland calling Octahedron.

Intensive discussions followed on key issues concerning the definition of exploration blocks, size of the area for exploration, relinquishment and participation by the Authority.

Octahedron, why are you not responding?

Discussions have been held on a number of issues, including trends in bioprospecting and developments in bioprospecting, at international forums.

South African companies are exploring for natural gas deposits in Bolivia and oil in the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela.

The Authority has already approved the exploration plans of seven pioneer investors for polymetallic nodules and is in the process of granting them exploration contracts.

In addition, biological prospecting is an emerging issue.

In addition, biological prospecting is an emerging issue.

B. Prospecting and exploration for polymetallic sulphides and cobalt rich ferromanganese crusts deposits in the Area

2.2 The Contractor shall have the exclusive right to explore for (polymetallic sulphides) (cobalt crusts) in the exploration area in accordance with the terms and conditions of this contract.

In 2005, a resolution on bioprospecting was adopted.

However, for reasons linked, on the one hand, to the geological complexity of the site study of which calls for drilling of deep boreholes in the seabed and, on the other hand, to the difficulties of such deep borehole drilling owing to the exceptional pattern of currents in the Strait, the geological investigations in question are highly difficult and burdensome.

Draft regulations on prospecting and exploration for polymetallic sulphides and cobalt rich ferromanganese crusts in the Area

The strip on marine platforms facing south and north was the subject of numerous geological surveys during the period 1980 1995.

the Authority hereby grants to the Contractor the exclusive right to explore for (polymetallic sulphides) (cobalt crusts) in the exploration area in accordance with the terms and conditions of this contract.

The Parties shall have an exclusive right to joint prospection and exploitation of prospective structures and deposits in the event of that these extend beyond the adjusted median line.

It basically sets out an exploration regime for polymetallic nodules along with annexes containing a model exploration contract and standard contract clauses.
