Public release of petroleum data
Release dates for well and survey activities vary according to the information type and legislation under which the data was collected. A nominal release date is given to indicate an approximate timing for release. The relevant day does not necessarily reflect the actual day of release.
NOPTA authorises the release of data on the first business day of the week after the relevant day for particular well and survey activities has passed. Data will become available through the NOPIMS or via Geoscience Australia for public use as soon as possible, after release.
Queries regarding the release provisions for petroleum data submitted under older legislation should be directed to data@nopta.gov.au.
Petroleum data publicly released by NOPTA since 1 January 2012 and intended date of release
NOPIMS is the register for new well and survey activity metadata captured by NOPTA since 1 January 2012. This information is updated periodically and is provided as a guide only.
The system displays the dates for well and survey activities which have been publicly released by NOPTA. This information can be discovered in the well, survey or reprocessing grids by filtering on the ‘basic release date’ or ‘interpretative release date column’ headers.
NOPIMS also displays the dates for well, survey and reprocessing activities which will be publicly released by NOPTA, once the relevant day has passed. This information can be discovered in the well, survey or reprocessing grids by filtering on the ‘basic relevant date’ or ‘interpretative relevant date’ column headers.
The 2019 public data release schedule is also published below.
Any queries, corrections or details of omissions should be directed to data@nopta.gov.au.
