  • This service delivers data from Geoscience Australia's Petroleum Systems database, a compilation of information from summary reports on petroleum systems by basin across Australia, integrated with data from other Geoscience Australia databases including provinces, stratigraphy and boreholes. The data provided by this service is intended for use in the Petroleum Systems Summary tool on the Geoscience Australia Portal. The tool's aim is to provide high-level information of the current understanding of key petroleum systems for areas of interest and assist geological studies by summarising and interpreting key datasets related to conventional and unconventional hydrocarbon exploration. Each petroleum systems summary includes a synopsis of the basin and key figures detailing the basin outline, major structural components, data availability, petroleum systems events chart and stratigraphy, and a précis of the key elements of source, reservoir and seal.

  • This service is the processing inputs that are used within the Criteria Assessment geoprocessing service. This service is specifically for use within the Carbon Capture and Storage application.

  • 3D seismic survey polygon area. The data within this layer only contains high level information regarding the individual surveys, not the actual survey. NOPIMS data is supplied by the petroleum industry. NOPIMS data is only offshore petroleum that belongs to the Commonwealth. A two dimensional (3D) seismic survey is a method of exploration used to capture seismic data beneath Earth's surface. 3D seismic provides continuous information of the subsurface within the extent of the survey. transect line of information in the survey. This method sends energy waves into the Earth to detect changes in the subsurface geology. The rock formations in the subsurface geology reflect the waves back to detector, where they are captured over the desired timeframe and converted into a seismic image. Depending on the age the survey was conducted will depend on the method used to capture the information. Older records more likely used explosives to capture seismic data whereas newer surveys use compressed air.

  • The 2023 Offshore Greenhouse Gas Storage Acreage Release is a key strategy of the Australian Government to reduce emissions and support Australia's resource sector. The GHG acreage release will provide companies the opportunity to explore for offshore carbon dioxide injection and storage locations. The 2023 GHG acreage release consists of 10 areas across the Bonaparte, Browse, Northern Carnarvon Basins, Perth, Otway, Bass and Gippsland Basins.

  • The Australian Gazetteer service provides authoritative information on the location, and spelling of approved place names. The Australian Gazetteer is a subset of information held by the relevant State, Territory and Commonwealth naming authorities. Additional authoritative information has also been sourced from the Australian Hydrographic Service, Australian Antarctic Division and Geoscience Australia.

  • The Mineral Potential web service provides access to digital datasets used in the assessment of mineral potential in Australia. The service includes maps showing the potential for sediment-hosted base metal mineral systems in Australia.

  • <b>IMPORTANT NOTICE: </b>This web service has been deprecated. The Australian Onshore and Offshore Boreholes OGC service at https://services.ga.gov.au/gis/boreholes/ows should now be used for accessing Geoscience Australia borehole data. This is an Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) web service providing access to a subset of Australian geoscience samples data held by Geoscience Australia. The subset currently relates specifically to Australian Boreholes.

  • The National Hazard Impact Risk Service for Tropical Cyclone Event Impact provides information on the potential impact to residential separate houses due to severe winds. The information is derived from Bureau of Meteorology tropical cyclone forecast tracks, in combination with building location and attributes from the National Exposure Information System and vulnerability models to define the level of impact. Impact data is aggregated to Statistical Area Level 1, categorised into five qualitative levels of impact.

  • This web service provides access to the Maritime Facilities Datasets, representing the spatial locations of major ports and public ferry terminals located within Australia and its Territories, all complimented with feature attribution.

  • This web service provides access to gridded data produced by Geoscience Australia from studies of Australian groundwater and hydrogeological systems.
