(13)  a comparative analysis of the work carried out compared with that provided for in the technical program and the results obtained compared with those anticipated;

(14)  the flow-back volume estimating the volume of injected fluid and the volume that remained in the formation;

(15)  if applicable, the interpreted well logs and the results of the related analyses and studies;

(16)  if applicable, the analyses of the petroleum or water recovered;

(17)  the data collected during the fracturing work, in particular, the fracturing parameter monitoring data;

(18)  if applicable, the raw and interpreted seismic monitoring data;

(19)  the comparative analysis of the reaction of the geological formations compared to the reaction anticipated;

(20)  the technical reports prepared by the enterprises that carried out the work;
