Petroleum activities reporting

The Petroleum Act 1984 and Petroleum Regulations 2020 set out a comprehensive suite of reporting and notification obligations for petroleum interest holders.

The obligations cover the submission of:

• annual reports
• technical (geological and geophysical) reports and data
• activity notifications and reports
• drill cores and samples
• incident notification requirements.

The reporting and notification obligations ensure that the minister is given comprehensive and timely information that supports effective regulation over the life of a petroleum interest to achieve the objectives of the Petroleum Act 1984.
