Under the Petroleum, Geothermal Energy and Greenhouse Gas Storage Act 1967 (PGEGGSA) and Petroleum and Greenhouse Gas Storage (Submerged Lands) Act 1982 (PGGS(SL)A), applicants for a new Petroleum Title may, at time of application, apply to the Minister for Mines and Petroleum to include rights to explore for and/or recover prescribed regulated substances. The holder of an existing Petroleum Title may also apply to add regulated substance rights their existing Petroleum Title.
The regulations prescribe naturally occurring hydrogen and helium as regulated substances for which rights may be added to a Petroleum Title.
There is also no fee to apply to add regulated substance rights to an existing Petroleum Title. There is also no additional cost for a new applicant to include regulated substance rights in a new application, but the request to add regulated substance rights must be made at the time of application.
More information is available in the Adding Regulated Substance Rights to a Petroleum Title guideline.
