Acreage, the upstream licensing-round brief

Field notes

Entries are sorted around practical screening questions, including what closes first and whether a supposedly open opportunity has a published deadline. The page separates rolling offers from competitive auctions and gives storage acreage its own category for CO2 and geothermal permits. It also preserves source disagreement as data: Kazakhstan, Algeria, and Bangladesh each have unresolved inconsistencies in dates or block counts. The publication identifies Lloyd Vaz as editor and says the brief is compiled from regulator material where available, supplemented by trade press.
