Abstract
On the eve of London's Olympic year this title is apt as Australia's first petroleum well in more than 2 km of water is drilled, exploration has pushed to the very margins of the continent and is more widely spread across the onshore basins than at any time since in the early 1980s. In the year 2000, Sydney's Olympic year, Australia had one LNG project exporting 6.9 million tonnes and total energy exports were worth A$25.7 billion including A$7.6 billion for crude oil, A$2.7 billion for LNG and A$10.8 billion for coal. In the intervening decade Australia has asserted itself as the energy powerhouse in the Asian region, LNG exports have nearly tripled, two LNG hubs are in operation and three new LNG projects are under construction. In 2010, the export value of energy commodities included A$11 billion for crude oil, A$9.5 billion for LNG and about A$50 billion for coal.
