Abstract

Extract: "Between 1912 and 1915 there was a dramatic surge of interest in petroleum exploration in Australia.

In September 1913, Wade was appointed advisor by the British government with regards to petroleum in Papua and commissioned to report directly to the Commonwealth Government of Australia about the extent of the petroleum production possibilities of that territory.[7] In early 1914, Wade recommended the Australian Government to improve petroleum search in the then Papua; a few years later the commercial production started successfully. During the following eight years of service for the Australian authorities, he engaged in surveys in Portuguese Timor, and was also consulting petroleum technologist to the Governments of Tasmania and South Australia. The latter was an important experience and turning point for the career of Arthur Wade."
