How government and the private sector compete
If you hold a petroleum title, you must pay royalty on petroleum that is recovered from the area within that title.
A petroleum title means an exploration licence, assessment lease, production lease or special prospecting authority in force under the Petroleum (Onshore) Act 1991.
The returns and payment are due on or before the last day of the month following the return period. For example, the royalty return and payment for petroleum recovered during the month of February is to be made no later than 31 March.

| Value at the well-head of the petroleum | The value at the well-head is an amount determined by the Minister for Resources. You must contact the Department of Planning and Environment, Resources and Geoscience for a determination of that value. |

If you have made contributions to an authorised fund, you may be eligible for a rebate or refund of royalty. Rebates and refunds of royalty are provided for under clauses 46, 47 & 48 of the Petroleum (Onshore) Regulation 2016. For more information see section 91A of the Petroleum (Onshore) Act 1991 and Part 8, Division 2 of the Petroleum (Onshore) Regulation 2016.
