Regulated Substance Retention, Applications

Created: 19 Nov 2024 Revised: 05 Feb 2025

Location of all current Regulated Substance Retention Applications issued under the Energy Resources Act 2000 (formerly the Petroleum and Geothermal Energy Act 2000) for the regulated resource or commodity of regulated substances as defined in the Act. Retention Licences protects the interest of a licensee in a discovery or a regulated resource for a reasonable period of time to properly evaluate the productivity potential of the discovery, and/or, carry out the work necessary to bring the discovery to commercial production. Retention Licence authorises the licensee, subject to the applicable Act and regulations and in accordance with the conditions to which the licensee is subject, to explore for a regulated substance, and to carry on such operations and execute such works as are necessary for that purpose, in the licence area, for 5 years which is renewable. Comment is sought on applications for licences from numerous sources before granting. Exploration programs are subject to strict environmental and heritage conditions. Exploitation of identified resources must be made under separate production licences.

Map layers and downloads will not display location or tenement information until applications are submitted or licences/permits are approved.

Licence boundaries are those from the Energy Resources Act Register. Licence boundaries are legally defined to follow lines of latitude and longitude, based on potentially several geodetic datums. Processing steps; coordinates are entered by keyboard from licence documents. Line work cleaned to remove duplicate arcs. Data adjusted for accurate state border and coastline. Where appropriate cadastral parcels removed from licence polygons. Associated attribute data also captured from licence documents. Positional accuracy; most boundary locations are constructed from lines of latitude and longitude, hence are scale independent. The accuracy of other boundaries are is dependent upon the source, e.g. state border, coastline, cadastre. Attribute accuracy; validation checks are performed periodically, resulting in an estimated 90% accuracy. Logical consistency; the dataset contains no overshoots, undershoots or duplicate lines. All polygons representing licences contain only one label. Completeness; spatial data is 100% complete. Associated attribute data is 100% complete. More +
