About Central Petroleum
Central Petroleum is a junior exploration and production company with extensive granted and pending tenement acreage in Central Australia, totalling over 70 million acres, predominately in the Northern Territory, almost entirely 100% net owned.
Within this acreage large resources of oil, natural gas, helium and coal have been identified and/or inferred by independent geological assessment. These resources are located within four main geological structures; the Amadeus, Pedirka, South Georgina basins and the Lander Trough of the Wiso Basin.
Central Petroleum has identified a number of oil and gas prospects in the already-producing Amadeus Basin and in the Pedirka Basin which could be brought to market relatively quickly following further drilling to determine the full extent of the resources.
