The Otway Basin is one of the best known Mesozoic rift basins that span the southern coastline of Australia and has both on and offshore gas production and oil discoveries. 104 petroleum and 6 geothermal wells have drilled since the 1890s. In 1987 Katnook 1 discovered economic gas in the Penola Trough (the most significant hydrocarbon province in the SA part of the basin to date), further drilling led to more discoveries and construction of a processing plant.

As part of the Australian Government's National CO2 Infrastructure Plan (NCIP), Geoscience Australia undertook a comprehensive study in the offshore Vlaming Sub-basin to provide new pre-competitive data and information on potential CO2 storage solutions offshore Perth, Western Australia.

With climate change doomsdayers conjuring up futuristic images of scorched earth landscapes and scenes more reminiscent of Mad Max than any Garden of Eden utopia, geologists may wonder what their workplace will be like in the years to come. The good news is that Share America says scientists have learnt from the past and are now able to reverse the trend of desertification to ensure mother earth continues to deliver its life sustaining produce in abundance. U.S. scientists are developing technologies and new approaches to reduce desertification, and in some cases return harmed land to its earlier fertile condition.

A vigorous recovery from the global aerospace industry has increased demand for nickel, a key aircraft component prized for its corrosion resistance, high strength and exceptional mechanical properties. This could inadvertently complicate or delay new energy infrastructure developments by diverting metal supply from critical sectors such as upstream, offshore and liquefied natural gas (LNG) terminals, which use nickel for various equipment applications in extreme environments.
