National Petroleum Wells Database
Geoscience Australia's geological databases provide detailed open file header data, biostratigraphic data, organic geochemical data, reservoir and facies data, interpreted depositional environment information and directional survey data. These data have been extracted from open file Well Completion Reports or are the results of Geoscience Australia studies. These data can be accessed via the following paths:
- Download data for wells relevant to the 2007 Acreage Release areas directly
from Geoscience Australia’s databases.
http://www.ga.gov.au/oracle/apcrc/ar_list.jsp.
- Search page allowing access to all open file wells for the above datasets.
http://dbforms.ga.gov.au/www/npm.well.search.
- Static file compiled from the Geoscience Australia databases in December
2006. This file is intended for clients without facility to download web
data. Data may have been added to the databases after this file was compiled.
Clients are encouraged to use the above web download sites in preference
to this static file.

AMSIS
The Australian Marine Spatial Information System (AMSIS), a recent release from Geoscience Australia, is an on-line mapping and decision support tool that presents a vast array of Commonwealth interests in Australia’s marine jurisdiction. With the cooperation of other Government and private sector agencies, this system integrates administrative boundary information including petroleum leases with scientific data against other background data such as bathymetry.
AMSIS is easy to use and provides access to data via a web browser for those interested the marine environment without the need for specialised software or mapping skills. AMSIS not only displays ‘what’s out there’, but also allows users to query the information, view metadata, and conduct more advanced functions such as return the nearest distance from a point to a nominated boundary.
AMSIS can be found on the web at: www.ga.gov.au/amsis
Australian Geological Provinces Database
The Australian Geological Provinces Database provides interpretive data on Australia’s sedimentary, igneous, metallogenic, structural and metamorphic provinces. The database has been jointly developed and populated by the Onshore Energy and Minerals Division of Geoscience Australia, which is concentrating on onshore geological provinces, and the Petroleum and Marine Division, which is capturing data for offshore sedimentary basins. The database provides the mapped extent of Australia’s geological provinces, and includes attributes such as size, water depth, tectonic setting, age, sediment thickness, main rock types, depositional environments, main resources, key references, and relations to other geological provinces. It also includes an overview of the geology, exploration status, and petroleum system elements of each province.
The Australian Geological Provinces Database is available online. Access to the database is provided through the Geoscience Australia website using an interactive mapping system, at www.ga.gov.au/oracle/provinces/
The interface allows users to view and select provinces of interest based on their key attributes, and to add key map layers (exploration data, surface geology, images, bathymetry). Database extracts are provided as an html report, and include links to key images (structural element maps, regional cross-sections, stratigraphic and petroleum system charts).
This database interface provides explorers with basic geological information on all offshore sedimentary basins, and many of their component sub-basins, along Australia’s continental margin.
