Closed_Sectors_Combined

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）指既定土地权属制度下开展招标活动的地理范围。区块将在既定土地权属流程启动时完成划定，以便行业主体能够提前获知招标区域，预留充足时间开展勘探评估工作。区块将通过区块识别公告对外发布。 区块将由加拿大纽芬兰与拉布拉多省离岸石油管理局（C-NLOPB）根据行业提交的勘探利益区域（Area of Interest）提名，以及勘探部（Exploration Department）开展的土地评估结果进行配置。结合既定土地权属制度的目标与流程，C-NLOPB已充分考量了潜在区块的合理规模。 单块区块面积约为200万公顷（ha）或2万平方千米（km²），大致可容纳9块800分区勘探许可证（ELs）——该规格为C-NLOPB提供的最大尺寸勘探许可证。就此而言，区块规模相较于单个勘探靶区、现有油田及单份勘探许可证而言均更大。区块的设计旨在覆盖广阔地理范围内的多种含油气组合与勘探靶区。 为开展地块规划，区块边界被设定为"弹性边界"，即规划地块可延伸至区块边界之外，以完整涵盖地下地质构造。
