CSIRO has world class petroleum researchers working on improving Australia's oil and gas self-sufficiency.

Carbon dioxide capture and storage (CCS) technologies have the potential to make deep cuts in Australia’s greenhouse gas emissions from coal-fired power stations. CSIRO is working to reduce the cost and improve the efficiency of CCS so it is a viable option for our energy future.

A new research partnership between CSIRO and the Victorian Department of Primary Industries (VicDPI) will delve deep into Victoria’s basins to unearth new oil and gas reserves.

CSIRO scientists have successfully helped oil and gas company InterOil discover significant amounts of natural gas in Papua New Guinea.

CSIRO is holding a workshop on numerical simulation of materials that are stressed beyond their elastic limit.

CSIRO is researching the formation of hydrates in gas pipelines and developing cost-effective technologies to avoid flow disruptions.

CSIRO is supporting a smooth transition to Australia's clean and secure energy future with new oil and gas technologies.

CSIRO is meeting the challenges in understanding coal seam gas reservoirs and improving gas drainage and production

CSIRO is providing technologies to help improve Australia's oil and gas self-sufficiency as well as develop sustainable energy resources for the future.

New plastics developed by CSIRO, Hanyang University Korea and the University of Texas have the potential to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions and help purify water and CSIRO research leader Dr Anita Hill discusses this research in this vodcast. (2:20)

A video about better prediction of oil and gas deposits for which CSIRO Petroleum’s Characterisation Team received a CSIRO Medal in 2004. (2:30)

Dr Silvio Giger is examining how fluid circulates in complex geological structures and how deformation processes and fluid migration interact.

Remote sensing of hydrocarbon reservoirs in the continental shelf can be made difficult by unwanted signals from ocean waves. A new technique developed by the OCEANMAG project, led by Dr Jeanne Young, unmasks the geological data, which can reveal whether reservoirs contain hydrocarbons or sea water.

This 20-page document outlines the presentation abstracts for the Simulating fracture, damage and strain localisation workshop. This workshop is part of the CSIRO Computational and Simulation Science Transformational Platform Conference.

This brochure describes the development of new technologies for compact gas-liquid separator for downhole and subsea gas production for cost effectively commercialising these assets. (2 pages)

Sensing technologies for hydrocarbons and their potential use as exploration devices is being delivered through the CSIRO Wealth from Oceans National Research Flagship (2 pages).

This fact sheet overviews the flow assurance program that is part of the Wealth from Oceans National Research Flagship. (2 pages)
