Oil and Gas

Geoscience Australia researches and advises government and industry on Australia's petroleum prospects, reserves and potential. Its work is used by the Australian Government to attract international exploration investment to search for petroleum and hence sustain Australia's indigenous oil supply into the future.

Petroleum projects in Geoscience Australia undertake studies to assess the geological risks of petroleum occurrence and underpin assessment of petroleum potential and promotion of prospectivity.

What's new:

  • 2009 Acreage Release: Thirty-one areas plus two special areas, located across five of Australia's offshore sedimentary basins are offered for petroleum exploration in the 2009 Acreage Release. The release areas range from frontier to mature status and offer opportunities for exploration companies of all sizes.
  • Australian Southern Margin Synthesis: Tectonostratigraphic synthesis of Australia's Southern Margin basins - Compilation and analysis of Geoscience Australia's Southern Margin basin studies over the past 10 years.
  • Shared Navigation Integration Project (SNIP) offshore and onshore seismic navigation data: The SNIP dataset includes navigation information for 3156 onshore and offshore seismic surveys from Australia and New Zealand acquired prior to 2003. The dataset, as originally purchased, is available in two formats. KMZ (zipped KML) and Shapefile.
