The Northern Territory's prospective onshore sedimentary basins host a range of energy resources including oil and gas, naturally occurring hydrogen and helium, uranium, as well as potential for geothermal energy and carbon capture and storage.
The Amadeus Basin has been producing oil and gas since the 1980s, the Beetaloo Sub-basin's significant shale gas resources are moving into pilot production in late 2026, and the Territory is evaluating the potential for both onshore and offshore carbon capture and storage.
The links below provide further information on the Territory's energy commodities, industry activity, including past and current production and resource figures, details on current exploration, and the onshore sedimentary basins inventories for the key prospective basins for energy resources.
