Prior to 1 January 2012, offshore Commonwealth petroleum data was collected by the Designated Authorities. Historical Commonwealth petroleum data from before 2012 may also be available from state operated systems.
Onshore petroleum data including the territorial waters administered by each state and territory is also available through these jurisdictions.
NOPTA does not make offshore production data available for public release as it is classified by the Titles Administrator as permanently confidential under Regulation 8.02(3) of the Offshore Petroleum and Greenhouse Gas Storage (Resource Management and Administration) Regulations 2011 (RMA Regulations).
Individual petroleum titleholders and operators may choose to make production and other information available and you may wish to contact those companies directly. Details of Australian offshore titleholders and permits is available through the National Electronic Approvals Tracking System (NEATS).
Certain aggregated data may be available through Geoscience Australia publications.
