Business Performance and Governance Visual Presentation B06: Regulating and keeping the gas flowing in Queensland, Australia

Business Performance and Governance Visual Presentation B06 Queensland holds the largest onshore gas reserves in Australia with Queensland coal seam gas production accounting for 25% of onshore and offshore gas produced nationally. Energy security related to gas supply is a key concern in eastern Australia. Gas shortage forecasts reported by advisory firms such as the Australian Energy Market Operator’s annual Gas Statement of Opportunities have highlighted the need for new gas projects. The Petroleum Assessment Hub (PAH), within Georesources in the Department of Natural Resources, Mines, Manufacturing, and Regional and Rural Development is supporting industry development in response to this potential gas shortfall. The PAH assesses and recommends whether Government authorisation should be granted to explore and develop Queensland’s gas resources. The PAH leverages internal expertise to foster relationships with industry – to facilitate positive outcomes for industry and Queensland – and to play a key role in department initiatives across government. This paper provides insight to the initiatives of Georesources and PAH to showcase the outstanding work of public servants who facilitate this industry.
