Abstract

2009 marks the 40th anniversary of Bass Strait oil and gas production - a significant milestone in Australia's history.

For 40 years, oil and gas from Bass Strait has provided a great deal of the energy that allows Australians to go about their day - fuelling their cars, powering industry, heating homes, and supplying the chemical feedstocks used to make everyday products such as food wraps, plastics, inks, shampoo bottles, medicines and colouring pencils.

Since the first well was drilled in Bass Strait, almost 4 billion barrels of crude oil and 7 trillion cubic feet of natural gas
have been produced. The discoveries in Bass Strait led to
significant changes to Australia's industry and economy.
