The Queensland Government has released the 2021 Queensland Exploration Program (QEP). The QEP provides a release schedule of exploration opportunities for greenhouse gas storage areas and petroleum and gas across Queensland.
It outlines the tender process (tenders open in December 2021) and provides details on the location of each exploration tender area and the timing of each competitive tender process. In addition, the QEP includes an extensive communication and engagement program to help other interested parties be aware of, and prepare for, exploration and mining activities in their areas.
All industry expressions of interest (EOIs) received through the EOI processes undertaken earlier in 2021 were considered for inclusion in the QEP.
