The Taroom Trough Oil & Gas Conference

The Taroom Trough is fast becoming one of Australia’s most exciting onshore exploration opportunities, with the potential to be the nation’s first major new oil province in over 50 years. As global energy demands rise and the need for reliable, homegrown energy sources becomes more critical, the Taroom Trough stands as a beacon of opportunity. Its vast reserves could not only reduce Australia’s reliance on imports but also position the nation as a global energy leader. By harnessing the Taroom Trough's potential, Australia can create jobs, stimulate regional economies, and secure a stable energy supply for generations to come.

Described by the Queensland Premier as a "golden opportunity" to tap into "liquid gold," the area will be developed through the Taroom Trough Development Plan to reduce reliance on imported fuels and improve long-term domestic supply, bolstering Australia’s energy security and economic growth for the future.

This event will be THE key gathering place, bringing together industry leaders, policymakers, and innovators to unlock a new era of energy prosperity through the Taroom.

The Taroom Trough is attracting growing attention as an emerging oil and gas exploration region within Queensland’s Bowen–Surat Basin.

However, turning resource potential into viable projects will require collaboration across industry, government, infrastructure, investment and regional communities.

The Taroom Trough Oil & Gas Conference brings these stakeholders together for two days of insight, discussion and connection.

The conference is designed for professionals working across:

• Exploration and production
• Government and regulation
• Investment and finance
• Infrastructure and logistics
• Engineering and technology
• Environmental services
• Regional development
• Community and stakeholder engagement
