Australian National Offshore Seismic Survey Data Collection

Geoscience Australia houses one of the world's largest collections of petroleum data. Much of this data is non-confidential and available to the petroleum industry, research organisations and the public.

The collection includes seismic survey data submitted by industry under legislative requirements as well as data collected by research projects and marine surveys undertaken by Geoscience Australia or other government agencies or institutions.

The collection comprises digital 2D and 3D seismic survey field data, navigation data, processed data, velocity data, observer's logs, operational reports, processing reports, bathymetry data, potential field data (gravity and magnetic) and also hard-copy data submitted during the pre-digital era including seismic sections and other analogue formats

Value: Data used for interpreting the geologic structure of the subsurface. This work can be used for the assessment of resource potential.

This data can be discovered through the National Offshore Petroleum Information Management System (NOPIMS) - http://www.ga.gov.au/nopims
