(a) – (i) Information of this nature exists in paper and scanned form, however it is not in a format that allows for a ready response to this question. The provision of this information involves considerable investigation and in fact requires an analysis of every file relating to each well drilled within the respective years. This would divert staff away from their normal duties and I am not prepared to allocate the State's resources to provide an answer.
