The Department maintains a comprehensive library of well completion reports for the approximately 3600 petroleum and geothermal wells that have been drilled in South Australia. The paper reports for older wells have all been scanned and are now held as PDF documents while the reports for newer wells were already in PDF format when submitted. All well completion reports are bookmarked for ease of navigation. Larger maps and logs are stored separately in either TIFF, PNG or JPEG (colour) format and are linked into the relevant well completion report.

SARIG can be used to view a map of all petroleum wells in South Australia. In October 2022, the Well Completion Reports module went live within PEPS South Australia. The module allows the user to:

  • Download individual files or entire Well Completion Report (in a zip file)
  • Added a "Change Log" on the WCR module to track when files in a WCR have been updated.
  • WCR Excel displays data by Well provides ability to sort/filter by most recent Open File Release date.
  • WCR Excel also has Files tab containing Change Log by File, provides ability to sort/filter by most recent File modification date and Change Reason

Downloads from PEPS South Australia are on a well-by-well basis. Requests for well completion reports and / or log data for multiple wells can also be made via DEM.petroleum@sa.gov.au. Charges are levied for this service to cover staff time and the cost of media and shipping.
