Oil and Gas Titles in Western Australia
Western Australia ranks among the best regions in the world for new oil and gas ventures,
and is one of the few places where potential remains for larger oil and gas discoveries.
The State’s sedimentary basins, including the continental
shelf, cover an area of approximately 2.5 million km2.
Western Australia has seven major sedimentary basins, as
well as several minor basins which are prospective for
petroleum. These basins hold approximately 80 per cent of
Australia’s discovered natural gas resources, despite being
one of the least explored areas in the world.
Western Australia’s onshore frontier basins offer perhaps the
best opportunities to discover a new petroleum province in
the Asia Pacific region. There are emerging opportunities in
petroleum resources such as shale gas, as small independent
explorers lead the way exploring the potential of the State’s
shale plays.
For example, oil and gas explorer AWE approved the first stage
of the Waitsia gas field development project in January 2016.
The Waitsia field was discovered in September 2014 and
has the potential to be the largest onshore conventional gas
discovery since the 1960s. The field is located in the onshore
Perth Basin, and should reinvigorate the potential for onshore
gas production in Western Australia.
This brochure aims to inform interested parties of ongoing
opportunities for investing in Western Australia’s oil and
gas sector.
