GIS dataset of Onshore Energy Security Program (OESP) Seismic Surveys

Created 17/10/2025

Updated 17/10/2025

This GIS dataset shows where Geoscience Australia (GA) has acquired regional seismic reflection data as a part of Australian Government's Onshore Energy Security Program (OESP) in collaboration with State and Territory geological surveys, AuScope and Australian National Seismic Imaging Resource (ANSIR). During 2006-2011 GA collected over 6,500 line kilometres of new world-class seismic reflection data within Australia for use by industry and government. This dataset is generated from files containing CDP (Common Depth Point) coordinates of all OESP seismic surveys. The CDP line is a curve of best fit through the midpoints between sources and receivers, which optimises the fold of the data while minimising the subsurface area of reflections contributing to each nominal CDP. Each trace (source-receiver pair) is allocated to the nearest CDP bin to its midpoint. The interval between each CDP traces is 20 metres.
