Victoria's Public Petroleum Wells from Geological Survey DbMap

Petroleum wells from the Geological Survey of Victoria's DbMap database, populated from original well completion reports. The dataset is actively maintained by the Department of Energy, Environment and Climate Action and was last updated on 2026-04-09. It is distinct from the GEDIS boreholes dataset, though the wells in both datasets overlap in most cases.

Use Cases

• Map petroleum well locations and density based on geospatial data.
• Analyze historical petroleum exploration activity based on well completion reports.
• Integrate well data with other geological datasets for resource modeling.
• Validate or cross-reference well information against the overlapping GEDIS boreholes dataset.

Strengths

• Data is actively maintained, suggesting ongoing updates.
• Populated from original well completion reports, indicating a primary source.
• Available in multiple geospatial file formats (SHP, GDB, DXF, etc.) for flexibility.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
