Jackson oil field is the largest onshore oil field in Australia.
Geography
[edit]It is located in Durham, Shire of Bulloo in southwestern Queensland, approximately 160 kilometres (99 mi) west of Thargomindah.[1]
Jackson oil plant is an oil processing facility located near the field. It processes oil from several oil fields in the Eromanga Basin and Cooper Basins.
History
[edit]The field was discovered in 1981 and contains 350 million barrels of oil, of which just under one third is recoverable.[1] Peak production occurred in 2000.[2]
One of the wells sprung a leak in 2013, and released about 50,000 litres (11,000 imp gal; 13,000 US gal) per day for a week.[3]
