Active Sector - NL01-NEN

Sectors represent the geographic area for which a call for bids will take place in the scheduled land tenure system. Sectors will be identified at the beginning of the scheduled land tenure process, such that industry will have a known call for bids area with a long lead schedule, allowing additional time for exploration assessment. A sector will be posted via a Sector Identification announcement. Sectors will be configured by the C-NLOPB, based upon the Area of Interest nominations received from industry and assessment of lands by the Exploration Department. The C-NLOPB has considered the appropriate size of potential sectors, given the goals and process of the scheduled land tenure system. The size of a sector will be approximately 2 million hectares (ha) or 20 000 km2 and therefore will accommodate roughly nine, 800 section exploration licences (ELs) (the maximum EL size offered by the C-NLOPB). As such, sectors will be large relative to exploration prospects, existing fields and exploration licences. They will be designed to allow for multiple play and prospect types over an extensive geographical area. Sector boundaries will be considered “flexible” for the purpose of parcel design; such that parcels can extend beyond the edge of a sector to properly contain geological features in the subsurface.区块（Sectors）指既定土地保有制度中开展招标活动的地理范围。区块将在既定土地保有流程启动阶段完成划定，以便行业主体提前获知招标区域范围，获得充裕的勘探评估筹备时间。区块信息将通过《区块划定公告》对外发布。区块将由加拿大-纽芬兰与拉布拉多省石油天然气委员会（C-NLOPB）根据行业提交的利益区域提名以及勘探部开展的土地评估结果进行划定配置。结合既定土地保有制度的目标与流程，C-NLOPB已确定了潜在区块的合理规模。单个区块面积约为200万公顷（ha）或2万平方千米（km²），可容纳约9块最大尺寸为800平方英里的勘探许可证（ELs）——这也是C-NLOPB提供的最大规格勘探许可证。相较于勘探靶区、现有油田及现有勘探许可证而言，此类区块的面积规模较大。此类区块的规划设计旨在覆盖广阔地理范围内的多种成藏组合与勘探靶区类型。出于地块规划的需求，区块边界将设置为"弹性边界"，即地块范围可超出区块边缘，以完整涵盖地下地质特征。
