Complete Step 6 if you are resuming drilling operations after rig release, re-entering an abandoned well, or deepening a well while on hole, which results in a change in category type (e.g., B140 to C280).
If the category type is changing before the well is spud, request that the AER cancel the original licence and apply for a new well licence. You must complete consultation/notification for the new category type. Any other revisions to the licence are made by completing Licence amendment only.
You must submit a licence amendment or resumption application if you are drilling more than 150 m deeper than originally licensed or if the deepening will change the terminating formation. When you are applying for a deepening of the well and there are no changes to the category type, complete Licence amendment only. If the category type changes, complete this section.
