PLIA will conduct a Preliminary Planning Assessment (PPA) at each accepted site to gather technical data and develop project cost estimates.
An applicant will receive a financial offer after completion of the PPA.
Upon accepting the offer, PLIA will provide technical oversight through the Petroleum Technical Assistance Program (PTAP).
