The Gippsland Basin in southeastern Victoria is Australia's major crude oil and natural gas producing province. This report details cumulative production to the end of 1986, including 344.66 million cubic meters of oil and 66.14 billion cubic meters of sales gas, and provides estimates of remaining recoverable reserves. It was published by the Australian Ocean Data Network and last updated in June 2026.
Use Cases
- Analyzing historical production trends based on cumulative oil and gas production figures.
- Estimating remaining resource potential based on reported recoverable reserves of oil, condensate, LPG, and sales gas.
- Studying geological characteristics based on described trap types and petroleum origins.
- Comparing economic viability of offshore versus onshore discoveries based on the count of economic, subeconomic, and uneconomic accumulations.
Strengths
- Provides specific cumulative production figures for oil, condensate, LPG, and sales gas up to 31 December 1986.
- Includes detailed estimates of remaining recoverable reserves for four petroleum product types.
- Contains a historical summary of discovery and development activity, including counts of wells and classified accumulations.
Limitations
- Data is a static report with a primary reference date of 31 December 1986; freshness should be verified for current analysis.
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred from the report text after download.
- The data format is PDF/HTML, which may require extraction for quantitative analysis.
