bree.gov.au Overview  Purpose of the Australian Petroleum Statistics  Users of the statistics  Data coverage  Data quality  Database & reporting  Impediments  Improvements  Future directions

bree.gov.au Purpose of the Australian Petroleum Statistics  To inform evidence based energy policy management and development, competition and consumer information, national & state reporting, national statistical accounts, research and international reporting.  The Australian Petroleum Statistics is collected monthly on a voluntary basis, published monthly and used as the basis for meeting Australia’s domestic and international reporting obligations.  The Australian Petroleum Statistics is a unique statistical collection and does not duplicate any other statistical survey.

bree.gov.au Users of the statistics  Commonwealth government departments  Industry, ABS, ACCC, BITRE, CER, PC, DoD  State and territory governments  Upstream petroleum companies  Downstream petroleum companies, including refineries and wholesalers  Industry associations  Financial and investment organisations (domestic and foreign)  International organisations  IEA, APEC, IEF, UN  Foreign governments  Research institutions  Consultancies

bree.gov.au  All petroleum liquid fuels and gases produced inland and offshore Australia.  Data categories include:  Indigenous production, by product  Refinery inputs and outputs, by product  Sales, by product  Stocks, by product  Exports, by product  Imports, by product  Domestic & international fuel prices and taxes Data coverage

bree.gov.au Data quality  Substantive improvements since 1 July 2012  Additional oil & gas production companies  Regular data validations against other datasets  Collect additional data from:  Company quarterly ASX reports  Commonwealth, state & territory petroleum datasets  Audited statistical survey categories:  Basins, sub-basins, fields, products, product densities  FPSOs, oil, gas & LNG port and inland storage facilities  Developing statistical models to replace long term estimates
