Key messages
Key messages
- In this report ‘Oil’ refers to any hydrocarbon liquids, including conventional crude oil, condensate and liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), and unconventional resources including shale oil, oil shales, coal oil, tight oil and the natural gas liquid component of basin centred gas resources.
- Australia has limited identified conventional oil resources which are being depleted at a faster rate than they are being replaced by new discoveries.
- In 2022, Australia imported about 83% of its oil requirements.
- In 2021-22 Australia produced 891 petajoules (PJ; 152 million barrels, MMbbl) of crude oil, condensate, and LPG, of which over 85% was exported. Australia’s domestic crude oil production continues to decline rapidly, and without new commercial discoveries, production is projected to cease within the next 6 years.
- In 2022, around 80% of all oil production was from offshore fields on Australia’s North West Shelf (Northern Carnarvon and Browse/Bonaparte basins). This included condensate produced from a few large gas fields on the North West Shelf.
- In 2022, Australia’s conventional oil resources are estimated as 8,045 PJ (1,408 MMbbl) of proven and probable (2P) reserves and 12,826 PJ (2,229 MMbbl) of contingent (2C) resources. At 2022 production rates, this is equivalent to less than 12 years of remaining conventional oil reserves.
- Australia has significant undiscovered unconventional oil resources potential, including shale oil, tight oil, oil shale and basin centred natural gas liquids. Oil shale is the only unconventional oil resource that has been exploited to date. Currently, there is no commercial production of oil shale resources in Australia.
Australia’s identified oil resources
Australia’s identified oil resources
The majority of Australia’s remaining identified offshore oil resources occur in basins located in the continent’s north‑west and south‑east, with the Northern Carnarvon and Browse/Bonaparte basins holding the majority of these resources. Onshore, the Cooper–Eromanga basin in South Australia and Queensland holds the greatest quantity of identified remaining conventional oil resources (Figure 3.1; Table 3.1, Table 3.2 and Table 3.3).
Identified resources are those that have been discovered and their locations, quantity and quality are known from measurements or direct geological evidence. Identified oil resources, for the purposes of this report, are the equivalent of discovered 2P reserves and 2C contingent resources in the SPE-Petroleum Resources Management System. Prospective Resources are estimates of potentially recoverable quantities of hydrocarbons from undiscovered accumulations, referred to as prospects, assuming that a discovery is made and developed. Due to their nature, it is not possible to provide an accurate aggregation of all Australia’s prospective oil resources, (refer to Appendix A.5 for further discussion a bibliography details of published prospective resource estimates accessed by Geoscience Australia). Further information on energy resource estimates and terminology is available in Box 1.1 in the Overview and Appendix A.3 Resource classification.
The 2022 resource estimates compiled for this report are based on publicly available data for onshore areas aggregated with confidential offshore data submitted to the National Offshore Petroleum Titles Administrator (NOPTA). Offshore data are reported for the 2022 calendar year, while onshore data are based on government statistics and company estimates reported at various dates between June 2022 and June 2023. Data are aggregated for composite basin regions where necessary to de-identify confidential offshore field data in the custody of NOPTA.
Crude oil
Australia’s domestic supply of crude oil is limited, with estimated remaining 2P reserves of 1,475 PJ (251 MMbbl), and 3,316 PJ (564 MMbbl) of 2C contingent resources in 2022 (Table 3.1; Figure 3.1). This represents a 5% (244 PJ) increase in Australia’s identified crude oil resources from 2021, with reserves up 4% (58 PJ) and contingent resources up 6% (186 PJ) due to increases in the Northern Carnarvon/Roebuck basin and the Gippsland and Bowen/Surat basins, respectively. Nearly 70% (3,316 PJ) of Australia’s remaining identified crude oil resources are located in the Northern Carnarvon, Roebuck, Bonaparte and Browse basins. About 13% of Australia’s crude oil resources (632 PJ) are in the Cooper Basin, while approximately 10% (474 PJ) of remaining resources are in the Gippsland Basin. Based on 2022 production rates of 232 PJ (40 MMbbl), the remaining 2P reserves can only support 6 years of crude oil production.

Unconventional petroleum
Australia has significant potential for unconventional liquid petroleum resources hosted in oil shales, and shale oil and tight oil accumulations. Oil shale contains immature kerogen and requires mining and retorting to produce oil. Oil shale exploration has a long history, with sporadic small-scale production dating back to the 19th century (Dyni, 2006). Large volumes of contingent resources are contained in unconventional oil shale accumulations, estimated at 78,830 PJ (13,407 MMbbl; Table 3.5). Oil shale is the only unconventional oil resource that has been exploited to date. Currently, there is no commercial production of oil shale resources in Australia.
Other contingent unconventional oil resources are currently limited to a small quantity (841 PJ, 146 MMbbl) of condensate and LPG associated with basin centred gas and tight gas accumulations in the Bowen/Surat, Canning Cooper/Eromanga basins, as well as shale gas in the Beetaloo Sub-basin (Table 3.4).
Shale oil is liquid oil that can be extracted from shales using drilling and hydraulic fracturing. Coal oil is oil or condensate that is generated within coalbeds and then retained as a self-sourced reservoir system (USGS, 2016). Tight oil is hosted in low porosity and/or permeability reservoirs and also requires hydraulic stimulation for production. There are currently no identified contingent shale oil, coal oil or tight oil resources in Australia.

Notes
Queensland has a moratorium on the McFarlane oil shale development; in other cases, the Queensland Government will consider the development of oil shale deposits subject to the merits of the proposal. With the exception of the Julia Creek deposits, these resources were reported as recoverable shale oil resources under the subeconomic “Paramarginal” and “Submarginal” categories of the JORC Code for reporting of Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves.
Production
Production
Australia’s oil production in 2022 totalled 687 PJ (120 MMbbl; Table 3.6). Two-thirds of Australia’s extracted oil in 2022 was condensate and LPG resources associated with producing gas fields.
Trends in oil production are captured by the Australian Government’s energy production statistics in the Australian Energy Update (Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water [DCCEEW], 2023a, 2023b). Between 2008–09 and 2017–18, the combined production of crude oil and condensate in Australia showed a trend of long-term decline (Figure 3.3), falling by more than 40% from the production levels seen in 2008-9. This decline reversed in 2018–19 and 2019–20 following the start-up of the Greater Enfield, Ichthys and Prelude projects on the North West Shelf. In 2021–22, crude oil and condensate production increased marginally to 723 PJ, though this increase was not enough to fully recover from the 10% decline recorded in 2020–21.
The 2020–21 decline was primarily due to production facility outages at the Prelude and Gorgon LNG plants, reducing condensate and LPG output, with concurrent reductions in crude oil output attributed to the natural decline in production from ageing oil fields (DCCEEW, 2022). LPG production increased to 168 PJ in 2021–22, up 15%, as the output of condensate from the Prelude and Gorgon LNG projects recovered from the disruptions during 2020-21.

Trade
Trade
Since the mid-1980's Australia has been a net importer of refined oil products, as well as crude oil and other refinery feedstocks. However, Australia also exports a major share of its crude oil production, predominantly from Western Australia (Figure 3.4). Australia’s crude oil and condensate exports increased by 5% in 2021-22 to 623 PJ (DCCEEW, 2023a). Associated export earnings nearly doubled to AUD$14 billion, as oil prices recovered from the impact of COVID-19 and rose sharply following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
About 86% of Australia’s domestically produced oil resources were exported in 2021-22. This is because Australian basins typically produce light sweet oils (less dense, lower sulphur), which need to be blended with other heavier crude oils to produce refined fuel products. As most oil in Australia is produced on the North West Shelf at significant distances from refineries in the eastern part of the country, it is more cost effective to transport crude oil to larger refineries in the Asian region and import refined fuel products into Australia. The oil produced from eastern Australian basins is largely consumed domestically. However, falling east coast oil production means that Australia’s two remaining domestic refineries increasingly rely on imported feedstock (Figure 3.5).
Australia also exported a small volume (about 168 PJ) of refined products and LPG in 2021-22, but this remained as a small proportion of domestically refined products. Export earnings from Australia’s refined petroleum products and LPG increased by about 43% in 2021–22 to AUD$5 billion, mostly because of increased earnings from bunker fuels (DISR, 2024).
The majority of Australia’s energy imports are represented by refined petroleum products (including LPG) and crude oil (Figure 3.5). Australia’s imports of crude oil continued to decline, with a decrease of 29% (160 PJ) in 2021–22 to 387 PJ, largely due to the closure of two refineries in 2021: Kwinana in Western Australia in March, and Altona in Victoria in August. Meanwhile, imports of refined products and LPG were at the highest level on record, increasing by 17% to 1,575 PJ (DCCEEW, 2023a), in part to replace declining supply from domestic refineries.
World oil resources
World oil resources
In 2022, total world oil production was approximately 34 billion barrels (equivalent to ~210,664 PJ; Energy Institute, 2023). Volumetrically, the largest oil producers were in the Middle East, which held a 33% share of world production. The United States was the largest single producer, accounting for 19% of world production, followed by Saudi Arabia (13%) and the Russian Federation (12%; Figure 3.6). Australia is a minor oil producer, ranking 30th in the world and accounting for less than 0.5% of total oil production in 2022 (Energy Institute, 2023).
