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.
