Western Australia Petroleum Exploration 2D Seismic Surveys

A reference system for petroleum exploration 2D seismic surveys conducted in Western Australia, managed by the Department of Energy, Mines, Industry Regulation and Safety. The dataset includes state-managed surveys updated regularly, with offshore data managed by NOPTA since 2012.

Use Cases

• Map seismic survey locations and attributes for petroleum exploration planning in Western Australia.
• Analyze spatial distribution and temporal updates of 2D seismic survey data.
• Integrate seismic survey references with geological data for subsurface modeling.

Strengths

• Managed by the authoritative state department for energy and geoscience.
• Regularly updated, with a last update recorded in March 2026.
• Available in multiple geospatial formats including SHP, GDB, and WFS for interoperability.

Limitations
