Petroleum and Geothermal Safety

The Minister for Mines and Petroleum; Fisheries; Electoral Affairs and the Department of Mines and Petroleum (DMP) administer the following acts:

• Petroleum and Geothermal Energy Resources Act 1967 (WA)
• Petroleum Pipelines Act 1969 (WA).

Resources Safety provides specialist advice and safety regulatory services to DMP in relation to onshore petroleum facilities (including Barrow Island), pipelines and geothermal energy resources through a formal Memorandum of Understanding.

Petroleum and geothermal operations are subject to a risk-based safety case approach, which promotes continual improvement in safety for the onshore oil, gas and geothermal industries.

Offshore petroleum safety legislation is administered by the National Offshore Petroleum Safety Authority.

Copies of the Acts are available from State Law Publisher.
