The Onshore Energy Security Program (OESP) announced by the Australian Government in 2006 is a major initiative to encourage exploration for energy resources in Australia. Geoscience Australia will receive funding of $59 million over five years for data acquisition and scientific programs focussed on petroleum, uranium, thorium, and geothermal energy systems. National scale surveys such as the Australia Wide Geophysical Survey (AWAGS) will provide uniform, objective data for assessing the energy potential of terrains across the continent. Geological provinces considered prospective for energy commodities are being targeted by regional projects based around the acquisition of seismic\MT and other data. A mineral-systems approach is being used to assess the uranium and geothermal prospectivity of the Mt Isa and Georgetown regions of north Queensland, and interpret the results of an extensive seismic\MT acquisition program. Interpretation of these data is providing new insights into these provinces which have been under-explored for energy.
