Exploration

Mitsui E&P Australia (MEPAU) has a strong history of exploration success with opportunities to significantly grow our gas reserves base through organic growth. MEPAU’s exploration credentials include the discovery of Waitsia Gas Field near Dongara, WA, one of the largest onshore gas fields ever discovered in Australia.

The Waitsia discovery has revitalised gas exploration in the region and provided security of gas supply to WA industry and its residents.

Our diverse Australian exploration portfolio includes permits onshore in the Perth Basin, Western Australia and Bowen Basin in Queensland. Offshore, MEPAU holds interests in the Exmouth Sub-basin and Browse Basin in Western Australia and the Otway and Gippsland Basins offshore Victoria.

MEPAU manages its interests in these assets from its regional headquarters in Perth, Western Australia.
