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.
