Petroleum and gas production by field, Queensland
liveOne row per half-year reporting period, petroleum permit and field and reservoir unit, from the publisher's cleaned compilation of production returns. Each row gives the production type (coal seam gas or conventional), the authorised holder, the basin and stratigraphic unit, the volumes of raw gas, gas flared and vented, gas used, oil, LPG, condensate and water, and the number of wells on production. This is the pg_prod_cleaned sheet of the petroleum and gas production statistics workbook.
Also called: Queensland coal seam gas production by field, Queensland CSG and conventional gas production statistics, Queensland oil and gas production returns.
Part of Queensland petroleum and gas production and reserves, 2 tables the publisher releases together: Petroleum and gas reserves by field, Queensland.
- What is in each row?
- Each row is one half-year reporting period, one permit and one field and reservoir unit, with the permit holder and basin, the volumes of gas, oil, LPG, condensate and water produced and used, and the number of wells producing.
- What period does it cover?
- The publisher's cleaned table, which is the one kept here, covers 2025. Its as-submitted table for 2020 to 2024 is under review by the publisher and is not included.
- What units are the volumes in?
- Gas is in million cubic metres, oil and condensate in millions of barrels, LPG in kilotonnes and water in megalitres, as the column names say.

Use it in Excel, R, Python and more
Excel and Power BI read the CSV from its address and refresh from it. The R and Python packages take any dataset on this site by its slug, so a new dataset needs no new release. The DuckDB file attaches read-only over HTTPS, and a query reads only the blocks it touches.
The dated URL in the code never changes. https://publicdata.au/d/qld-petroleum-gas-production/latest/ redirects to the newest version.
https://publicdata.au/d/qld-petroleum-gas-production/latest/data.csvIn Excel choose Data, then From Web, and paste this address. Excel keeps it, so Refresh All reads the newest version. A sheet holds about a million rows; past that, load the query to the Data Model.
https://publicdata.au/d/qld-petroleum-gas-production/latest/data.csvIn Power BI Desktop choose Get data, then Web, paste this address and choose Anonymous when asked how to sign in. A scheduled refresh reads the same address, so the report follows each new version.

Query it without downloading
The query API returns only the rows you ask for, as JSON, NDJSON or CSV, from the same typed rows as the files. It needs no key. Build a query here and run it, then copy the URL or the code into your own work.
How filters work
Each filter is field=operator.value in the query string, and every filter must match. A number or date field compares as a number or date, and a text field compares as text. Values are case-sensitive except with ilike. Prefix not. to negate a filter, as not.eq.value.
| Operator | What it matches |
|---|---|
| eq.value | Equal to the value. |
| neq.value | Not equal to the value. A blank cell does not match. |
| gt.value | Greater than the value. |
| gte.value | Greater than or equal to the value. |
| lt.value | Less than the value. |
| lte.value | Less than or equal to the value. |
| like.*text* | Matches a pattern where * stands for any run of characters. Case-sensitive. |
| ilike.*text* | The same as like, ignoring case. |
| in.(a,b,c) | Equal to any value in the list. A value cannot contain a comma. |
| is.null | Blank in the source, or suppressed by the publisher. |
| Parameter | What it does |
|---|---|
| select | Fields to return, comma-separated. Every field when absent. |
| order | field.asc or field.desc, comma-separated. The publisher's row order when absent. |
| limit | Rows per page, 1 to 10,000. 100 when absent. |
| offset | Rows to skip. The next URL in each answer sets it for you. |
| group | On aggregate, fields to group by, comma-separated. |
| metric | On aggregate, count, sum.field, avg.field, min.field or max.field, comma-separated. count when absent. |
| format | json, ndjson or csv. JSON carries the provenance header, and the others carry it in response headers. |
Without a version the API answers from the newest loaded version, and that answer changes when the publisher releases again. Put versions/<date>/ before rows or aggregate for an answer that never changes. /api/v1/datasets/<slug>/versions lists the loaded versions. The 1 newest version is loaded; versions lists them.
The API allows 60 requests in 10 seconds from one address. Above that it answers 429 for 10 seconds with a Retry-After header, a RateLimit-Policy header and a JSON body that gives the limit. Every API answer carries the same RateLimit-Policy. A client should wait the Retry-After seconds, or read the files, which have no limit. openapi.json describes this dataset's query paths for client generators and agents.
https://publicdata.au/mcp is a remote MCP server over Streamable HTTP with the same tools, defined in the same place, so a tool added to the pages is added here too. It needs no key and no account. The row tools are held to the query API's limit of 60 queries in 10 seconds from one address, and each call is two queries because it also counts the matching rows. Add it to Claude Code with claude mcp add --transport http publicdata https://publicdata.au/mcp, add the URL in Claude as a custom connector, or give it to any client that connects to remote MCP servers. Each queryable dataset is also a resource at https://publicdata.au/d/<slug>/fields.json, which lists its fields with their types, the publisher's descriptions, their ranges and the values they hold, so an agent can read a dataset's shape before it writes a query.
Smaller files
The same rows split by a field, one JSON file each. Each file carries the same provenance header.
By production_type (2 files)
by/production_type/index.json lists every file with its row count.
What changed
One version for every release the publisher has made since this site started following the dataset. The date is the day the file changed on the portal.

Questions
How do I download Petroleum and gas production by field as a CSV file?
Open https://publicdata.au/d/qld-petroleum-gas-production/latest/data.csv. It redirects to the newest dated version, which is https://publicdata.au/d/qld-petroleum-gas-production/v/2026-09-04/data.csv today. The same path serves Excel, JSON, Parquet, SQLite, DuckDB, NDJSON, Arrow. A dated URL never changes, so use it when the file must stay the same.
Can I open Petroleum and gas production by field in Excel?
Yes. https://publicdata.au/d/qld-petroleum-gas-production/v/2026-09-04/data.xlsx is a workbook with the 1,028 rows on a records sheet, the field list on a second sheet and the provenance on a third. The CSV also opens in Excel. https://publicdata.au/d/qld-petroleum-gas-production/v/2026-09-04/data.csv.gz is the CSV at about a tenth of the size.
What years does Petroleum and gas production by field cover?
The current version covers the years since 2025. Each release from Natural Resources and Mines becomes a new dated version here, and earlier versions stay online.
How often is Petroleum and gas production by field updated?
Natural Resources and Mines releases it half-yearly. This site checks the portal every week and adds a dated version when the file changes.
Can I use Petroleum and gas production by field commercially?
Yes. CC BY 4.0 allows commercial use, redistribution and derived works as long as the attribution is kept. The attribution string is in this page's side column and inside every file.
Is this the official source for Petroleum and gas production by field?
No. The publisher is Department of Natural Resources and Mines, Manufacturing and Regional and Rural Development, and its page is https://www.data.qld.gov.au/dataset/petroleum-gas-production-and-reserve-statistics. This site republishes the publisher's file without changing its content. The original sits beside every version as source.xlsx with its SHA-256, so the two can be compared.
How do I get only the rows for one production type?
Every version has one JSON file per value of production_type, 2 files in the current version, listed with row counts at https://publicdata.au/d/qld-petroleum-gas-production/v/2026-09-04/by/production_type/index.json. For example https://publicdata.au/d/qld-petroleum-gas-production/v/2026-09-04/by/production_type/conventional-oil-lpg-gas-condensate.json holds the 693 rows where production_type is CONVENTIONAL OIL, LPG, GAS, CONDENSATE.
What this site did to the data. Cells were typed, headers were renamed and the encoding was made UTF-8. Rows were left alone. The publisher's file sits beside every version as source.xlsx so the change can be checked.
Queensland petroleum and gas production and reserves is 2 tables here, and each takes its version date from its own file.
