SARIG (South Australia)

Live

South Australia petroleum & geothermal wells, petroleum tenements, and mineral/critical-minerals drillholes (Cooper Basin, NVCL hyperspectral library)

What is SARIG (South Australia)?

The South Australia Resources Information Gateway (SARIG), run by the SA Department for Energy and Mining, publishes the state's petroleum, geothermal, and minerals data over public OGC WFS GeoServer endpoints with no credentials. This connector reads petroleum wells (operator, basin, class, status, spud/rig-release dates, total depth) and geothermal wells from the Cooper/Eromanga, Otway, and Officer basins; petroleum exploration, retention, and production licences (licensee, area, granted/expiry dates); and mineral exploration drillholes from the National Virtual Core Library, including boreholes with hyperspectral critical-minerals scans. Coordinates are reprojected to WGS84.
