DMP introduced changes to the guideline for the assessment of petroleum exploration permits in March  2017.

The revised Western Australian Petroleum Guideline – Criteria for Assessment provides greater clarity and transparency of the department’s pre-grant assessment processes, including the minimum legislative requirements that apply and how competing applications are ranked.

The new Guideline will be used for the current petroleum acreage release, which closes in February 2018.
