Onshore petroleum exploration reporting information
Guidelines for digital data submission and report structure for reporting onshore petroleum exploration in New South Wales
November 2009
The Petroleum (Onshore) Act 1991, Petroleum (Onshore) Regulation 2007, Petroleum (Onshore) Amendment Regulation 2009 and the conditions of title for Petroleum Exploration Licences (PELs) in New South Wales set out the requirements for reporting on exploration within Petroleum Exploration Licences, Petroleum Assessment Leases and Petroleum Special Prospecting Authorities. The Department has created guidelines for reporting on onshore petroleum exploration in New South Wales to clarify what exploration data should be reported, and in what media and form.
The guidline conforms to a set of national standards for exploration reporting agreed to by state and federal geological agencies.
