What are the new 14th round PEDL licences targeting?

While companies applying for these new licences have a primary target, most will also have secondary targets which they will be looking to gather data on. There have already been a number of examples of companies who have conventional oil and gas as a primary targets, but are also drilling for unconventional resources (fracking). See below for a list of new licence areas along with the types of extraction targeted in the application:
