Potential greenhouse gas storage commercial area
If you discover a potential storage area, you can apply to have an area of your exploration permit declared as a potential greenhouse gas (GHG) storage commercial area (PSA). This will allow you to evaluate the area's potential and market opportunities.
When an area is declared as a PSA, it remains part of the exploration permit. When the PSA expires, the declared area ceases to be part of the original permit.
