Petroleum & Gas Exploration & Production Forms
Petroleum and Gas
The Petroleum and Gas (Production and Safety) Act 2004 and the Petroleum Act 1923 provide the framework for accessing land to explore and develop petroleum and coal seam gas resources in Queensland.
The Petroleum and Gas (Production and Safety) Act 2004 commenced on 31 December 2004 and is the result of extensive consultation with petroleum explorers, landholder representatives and community groups. Among other things, this Act replaces the Gas (Residual Provisions) Act 1965 and amends the Petroleum Act 1923, Mineral Resources Act 1989, Water Act 2000 and other legislation. The legislation addresses the grant and management of petroleum authorities, coal seam gas, underground storage, and safety and landholder issues, including compensation.
Subordinate legislation has also been developed. The Petroleum and Gas (Production and Safety) Regulation 2004 and the Petroleum Regulation 2004 are the subordinate legislation for the Petroleum and Gas (Production and Safety) Act 2004 and the amended Petroleum Act 1923.

Where information provided is commercial in confidence, it will be treated as confidential and not included in the Petroleum Register or be disclosed outside the agency unless the Department is legally required to do so.
