Abstract:

  • Offshore Gippsland - New Potential From A Mature Basin: At 5 :45am on Sunday, December 27th, 1964, Australia's first offshore well, Barracouta-1, was spudded in the Gippsland Basin. This wildcat marked a milestone on a journey that would lead to significant change in this nation's industry and economy.

  • ROC 'On Track': ROC Oil's hands have been full in recent months as the company has juggled its ambitious global drilling programme while picking up an interest in a UK-based exploration company focussed on oil and gas opportunities in Africa.
