Location of Hydrocarbon Permits

Article 3 of Law 34/1998 of 7 October 1998 on the Hydrocarbons Sector provides that the administrative powers relating to the granting of authorisations for hydrocarbon exploration and research permits are vested in the Autonomous Communities when they affect their territorial scope. Article 16 of this law establishes the creation of a register in which the most revealing data of the research permits will be recorded. The Mines Service created an information layer with the most important administrative data of the research permits, along with the geographical location of these.
