Abstract
Geoscience Australia (GA) has implemented an Onshore Energy Security Program (OESP) to identify Australia's onshore energy resources. The objectives of the OESP are to provide essential pre-competitive geoscientific data to lower exploration risk and stimulate investment in exploration for Australia's uranium, thorium, geothermal and onshore petroleum resources. The program is funded under a new Energy Security Initiative announced by the Australian Government in August 2006. As a key component of the OESP GA will be conducting geophysical surveys across Australia for the next four years collecting the following data: deep seismic reflection, magnetotelluric, airborne magnetic, radiometric, electromagnetic and ground based gravity. The demand for resources, and increased funding by the Commonwealth, States and NT, have been the driving factors in the recent improvement in the regional geophysical coverage of Australia.
