Access to Petroleum Data
Western Australian Petroleum Information Management System (WAPIMS)
The Western Australian Petroleum Information Management System (WAPIMS) is a petroleum exploration database containing data on titles, wells, geophysical surveys and other non-confidential petroleum exploration data submitted to DMP by the petroleum industry. WAPIMS also contains information on mineral boreholes drilled in the State.
Access to WAPIMS can be either as a registered user (free of charge) or by just selecting ‘Start’. It is recommended that you register as a user as you can then personalise the settings to suit your own requirements and searching can be done via a data tree rather than map-based searching.
The information currently stored in WAPIMS covers petroleum exploration and development activities in Western Australia since the 1950s.
The data available to download via WAPIMS are:
- Well log data in zip files containing LIS, DLIS, LAS or ASCII files;
- Well reports (including well completion reports) in PDF;
- 2D Seismic Survey post-stack SEGY and navigation data in UKOOA;
- Excel spreadsheets containing information on all wells and surveys conducted in Western Australia (last updated 31 January 2006).
