Taroom Oil Development Project

early production

The Taroom Trough in southern Queensland, Australia, is emerging as a new oil development area with early pilot production underway. The project aims to develop a new onshore oil basin with potential for light crude and condensate. The Queensland government supports a coordinated, basin-wide approach to streamline infrastructure, logistics, and regulatory approvals to accelerate development. Exploration permits are expanding, joint ventures are forming, and new drilling programs are planned, alongside interest in midstream and downstream infrastructure such as transport, storage, and refining capacity.
