Underground Water Impact Report for the Surat Cumulative Management Area

---

Petroleum is a legislative term that includes oil, conventional gas and coal seam gas (CSG). However, the
general term ‘petroleum and gas’ is often used to refer to both liquid petroleum and gaseous petroleum.
The Petroleum and Gas (Production and Safety) Act 2004 and the Petroleum Act 1923 (collectively referred
to here as the P&G Acts) authorise petroleum tenure holders to undertake activities related to petroleum
exploration and production. This authorisation also affords them the right to take or interfere with
groundwater. However, the Water Act 2000 (Water Act) establishes responsibilities for petroleum tenure
holders to monitor and manage the impacts caused by exercising of their water rights, including a
responsibility to ‘make good’ any impairment of private bore water supplies. These provisions exist because
it is not practicable to produce petroleum without also extracting groundwater.
