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.

The National Geochemical Survey of Australia (NGSA) project was established under the Australian Government's Onshore Energy Security Program (2006-2011). The project is a collaboration between Geoscience Australia and the geological surveys of all States and the Northern Territory. The primary aim of the NGSA project is to provide pre-competitive data and knowledge to support exploration for energy resources in Australia. In particular, it will improve the existing knowledge of the concentrations and distributions of energy-related elements such as uranium (U) and thorium (Th) at the national scale. To date, the project has completed field sampling and sample preparation. Outlet sediments of 1186 large catchments covering >6 M km2 (or 80% of Australia) have been sampled at 2 depths. Sample analyses are under way and will include total, aqua regia digestion and non-selective partial extraction element contents. By June 2011, the NGSA project will deliver a web-based atlas of geochemical maps, a database and a series of reports describing the project and its results.
