Abstract
The Geoscience Australia Boreholes database (BOREHOLE) includes borehole header and directional survey data from: 1. boreholes drilled by Geoscience Australia and its predecessor organisations (BMR, AGSO), 2. all resource exploration boreholes drilled in Australian Commonwealth offshore marine jurisdictions, 3. a selection of Australian onshore mineral exploration, groundwater, geothermal and seismic boreholes, and 4. a small number of research-related boreholes outside of the Australian jurisdiction. Geoscience Australia is not a reporting or regulatory authority for borehole drilling. Borehole information in the Geoscience Australia Boreholes database is sourced from various regulatory authorities in the States, Northern Territory and Commonwealth governments for Geoscience Australia research purposes. Where Geoscience Australia is not the custodian of borehole data provided in this database, the custodian agency provided with the data should be consulted as the authoritative source.

Series Information
Lineage
The Geoscience Australia (GA) boreholes Oracle database (BOREHOLE) is the successor to several previous relational databases (SECTHOLES, DEVIANT, WELLS, HOLES). The data includes records of: 1. boreholes drilled by Geoscience Australia and its predecessor organisations (BMR, AGSO), 2. a selection of Australian onshore mineral exploration, groundwater, geothermal and seismic boreholes, 3. a small number of research-related boreholes outside of the Australian jurisdiction, and 4. records of all Australian offshore petroleum exploration wells. GA used to be the official regulatory repository of offshore well data, but that role is now undertaken by NOPTA. GA's data is a synchronised copy of the NOPTA database with extra attribute information attached to each well.
