Australian Onshore and Offshore Borehole Data for Geological Investigations

Australian borehole data compiled by Geoscience Australia, restricted to onshore and offshore locations. The dataset includes Mineral Drillholes, Petroleum Wells, and Water Bores, defined according to the GeoSciML Borehole 3.0 standard. It is hosted by the Australian Ocean Data Network and was last updated on June 4, 2026.

Use Cases

• Map subsurface geological features based on borehole location and type data
• Assess mineral resource potential based on mineral drillhole records
• Evaluate petroleum reservoir characteristics based on petroleum well data
• Analyze groundwater resources based on water bore information

Strengths

• Data conforms to the GeoSciML Borehole 3.0 standard, suggesting structured interoperability
• Scope is clearly defined to include Mineral Drillholes, Petroleum Wells, and Water Bores
• Geographic coverage is specified as onshore and offshore Australia

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
• Freshness should be verified as the last update date is in the future (2026)
