Location of all current Speculative Survey Licence Applications issued under the Petroleum and Geothermal Energy Act 2000 (the P&GE Act supersedes the Petroleum Act 2000). A Speculative Survey Licence authorises the licensee to carry out exploratory operations of the kind specified in the licence (exploration) in the licence area. A Speculative Survey Licence cannot authorise drilling beyond a depth of 300 metres. The right to carry out exploratory operations conferred by a Speculative Survey Licence is not an exclusive right. A Speculative Survey Licence may be granted for 1 or more separate areas. The term of a Speculative Survey licence is 1 year (renewable). Comment is sought on applications for Speculative Survey 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 petroleum production leases.

      Source Data History: Speculative Survey Licence Application boundaries were sourced from the official Petroleum Register licence application documents. Licence application boundaries are legally defined to follow lines of latitude and longitude, based on GDA94. Processing Steps: Coordinates entered by keyboard from licence application documents. Linework cleaned to remove duplicate arcs. Data adjusted for accurate state border and coastline. Where appropriate cadastral parcels removed from licence application 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 is dependent upon the source, eg. 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 licence applications contain only one label.
      Completeness:Spatial data is 100% complete. Associated attribute data is 100% complete.
