Pinned version 2026-09-04: `https://publicdata.au/d/qld-petroleum-gas-production/v/2026-09-04/data.<format>`. Dated versions never change.

## Query

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. Rows: https://publicdata.au/api/v1/datasets/qld-petroleum-gas-production/rows. Counts and sums: https://publicdata.au/api/v1/datasets/qld-petroleum-gas-production/aggregate.

- Rows: https://publicdata.au/api/v1/datasets/qld-petroleum-gas-production/rows?reporting_period=eq.2025-12-31&limit=5
- Aggregate: https://publicdata.au/api/v1/datasets/qld-petroleum-gas-production/aggregate?group=basin&metric=sum.gas_cum_volume_mm3&reporting_period=eq.2025-12-31

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`. Operators: `eq.value`, `neq.value`, `gt.value`, `gte.value`, `lt.value`, `lte.value`, `like.*text*`, `ilike.*text*`, `in.(a,b,c)`, `is.null`.

- `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 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.

## 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 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.

## What this site did to the data

Cells were typed, headers were renamed to snake_case and the encoding was made UTF-8. Rows were left alone. Nothing is derived. The publisher's file is beside every version as `source.xlsx`.
