Location of all current Production Licences issued under the Petroleum and Geothermal Energy Act 2000 (the P&GE Act supersedes the Petroleum Act 2000), Petroleum (Submerged Lands) Act, 1982, or Petroleum (Submerged Lands) Act, 1967 for the regulated resource or commodity of petroleum. Production Licences provide exclusive tenure rights to produce for the regulated resource or commodity of petroleum for an unlimited term (usually 21 years). Comment is sought on applications for Production Licences from numerous sources before granting. Production programs are subject to strict environmental and heritage conditions.

      Source Data History: Production Licences boundaries were sourced from the official Petroleum Register licence documents. Licence boundaries are legally defined to follow lines of latitude and longitude, based on potentially several geodetic datums. Processing Steps: Coordinates entered by keyboard from licence documents. Non GDA94 coordinates transformed into GDA94. Linework 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 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 licences contain only one label.
      Completeness:Spatial data is 100% complete. Associated attribute data is 100% complete.
