What types of activities may be involved in energy resource development?
Energy resource development activities may include any of the following activities: resource assessment and evaluation, exploration, extraction, processing, refining, facility construction and operation, environmental review and compliance, marketing, distribution, and reclamation. In addition, energy resource development may also include permitting, leasing, compliance monitoring, production accounting, and accounting for royalty payments. A good resource for information about the planning and development of tribal energy resources is DOE’s Guide to Tribal Energy Development, which has a section devoted to the tribal energy development process.
