howtoget 01 000 ---- HOW TO GET OR SUBMIT DATA ---
howtoget 01 001 ----------------------------------
howtoget 01 002 To obtain petroleum data, ask DPI.
howtoget 01 003 A small fee for data transcription, copying, scanning, or preparation services
howtoget 01 004 payable to DPI or its agents is usually required.
howtoget 01 005
howtoget 01 006 Some data may not be presently available due to:
howtoget 01 007 - legislative confidentiality clauses.
howtoget 01 008 - commercial-in-confidence or trade-secret considerations.
howtoget 01 009
howtoget 01 012 The following data can also be obtained from DPI.
howtoget 01 013 - data packages, including CDs, DVDs, and other data packages.
howtoget 01 014 - data packages include data such as:
howtoget 01 015 - GIS data, including culture, Shot Point navigation, permit outlines etc
howtoget 01 016 - Geochem data, Biostratigrpahic data
howtoget 01 017 - Government publications -- PDF reports
howtoget 01 018 - Published papers scanned from professional society journals
howtoget 01 019 - cores, cuttings, side wall cores.
howtoget 01 020 - reports, maps, seismic sections and other hardcopy.
howtoget 01 021 - tapes, CDs and other digital data.
howtoget 01 022
howtoget 01 023
howtoget 01 024 To obtain hardcopy:
howtoget 01 025 - contact DPI as to which hardcopy you wish to obtain;
howtoget 01 026 - if you supply us with a list of barcode ranges, this would be good.
howtoget 01 027 - DPI will then determine if the data is openfile or not.
howtoget 01 028 - DPI will then ask a scanning bureau to quote and/or scan the material for you.
howtoget 01 029 - You will get a series of scans -- at your cost -- and will be invoiced by the scanning bureau.
howtoget 01 030
howtoget 01 031 To obtain digital wireline logs:
howtoget 01 032 - figure out which tapes you wish to get copied.
howtoget 01 033 - contact DPI to determine which of this selection is openfile.
howtoget 01 034 - DPI will then contact Spectrum Data Pty Ltd to give you a quote and/or copy of the tapes.
howtoget 01 035
howtoget 01 040 To obtain digital SEG-Y seismic processed data:
howtoget 01 041 - tell DPI which tapes you wish to obtain, quoting the barcode numbers.
howtoget 01 042 - DPI will then determine if these are openfile, and ask Spectrum Data Pty Ltd to give you a quote.
howtoget 01 043
howtoget 01 050 To obtain digital disk data:
howtoget 01 051 - ask DPI for a copy. DPI will give you a copy (if it is openfile) for a small fee.
howtoget 01 052
howtoget 01 053 To obtain digital Seismic S.P. Navigation data:
howtoget 01 054 - ask DPI for a copy of the GIS DVD, a disk containing nav for all openfile surveys in Victoria.
howtoget 01 055 - This GID DVD has the nav in the /pseis/nav/* subdirectories.
howtoget 01 056
howtoget 01 060 To obtain digital field tapes:
howtoget 01 061 - ask DPI whether the field data resides with DPI or GA in Canberra.
howtoget 01 062 (some offshore field tapes still reside with DPI, not just GA)
howtoget 01 063 - DPI will then give these tapes to Spectrum Data Pty Ltd or Guardian Pty Ltd for transcription..
howtoget 01 064 - You will pay for the transcription of the field tapes, and DPI will obtain a transcribed copy.
howtoget 01 065 - You will give to DPI all processed tapes and reports produced as a result of the field tape borrowing.
howtoget 01 066 - You may also get offshore field tape data directly from GA in Canberra.
howtoget 01 067 - In general, ask DPI for onshore field data, and GA for offshore field tapes.
howtoget 01 068
howtoget 01 070 To obtain samples:
howtoget 01 071 - ask DPI if these are openfile and available for sampling.
howtoget 01 072 - visit the DPI core library (you must ask DPI first to pre-arrange a visit).
howtoget 01 073 - or visit the GA core library (you must ask DPI first to pre-arrange a visit).
howtoget 01 074 - sample the cores, cuttings, or side wall core.
howtoget 01 075 - You will give to DPI all results and reports produced as a result of the sampling.
howtoget 01 076 - You will be required to submit any resultant Palynology slides or residues to the
howtoget 01 077 Melbourne Museum, with the required P numbered cataloguing completed by you.
howtoget 01 078
howtoget 01 080 To obtain palynology slides or residues:
howtoget 01 081 - ask DPI if the data is openfile.
howtoget 01 082 - ask DPI if the slides are with DPI or the National Museum (Melbourne Museum).
howtoget 01 083 - ask the curators of the National Museum (Melbourne Museum) to borrow the material.
howtoget 01 084 - you are required to give to DPI all results and reports produced as a result.
howtoget 01 085
howtoget 01 101
howtoget 01 102 The Petroleum Guidelines for data submission are available from the GA website http://www.ga.gov.au/
howtoget 01 102 The Petroleum Guidelines for data submission cover most aspects of data submission.
howtoget 01 103 A Petroleum Data Management Plan (DMP) should be submitted by current offshore title holders.
howtoget 01 104 - The Victorian government (DPI) differs somewhat slightly in submission requirements.
howtoget 01 105 - DPI requires that Palynology Slides or Residues be submitted to the
howtoget 01 106 National Museum in Melbourne according to the P-numbering requirements of
howtoget 01 107 submission desired by the Melbourne Museum.
howtoget 01 120 We require that companies submitting palynological/biostratigraphic slides make sure that they
howtoget 01 121 1) obtain a valid range of Museum of Victoria unique "P" catalogue
howtoget 01 122 numbers from the Melbourne Museum
howtoget 01 123 2) label the palynological slides with these P numbers, preferably on the
howtoget 01 124 slide itself rather than on a sticker
howtoget 01 125 3) catalogue these slides and submit to us a catalogue of the slides showing things like
howtoget 01 126 (i) P Number
howtoget 01 127 (ii) well name
howtoget 01 128 (iii) sample type (core/cutt/swc)
howtoget 01 129 (iv) depth
howtoget 01 130 (v) depth range
howtoget 01 131 (vi) slide type (e.g. kerogen etc)
howtoget 01 132 (vii) other descriptive details
howtoget 01 133 (viii)remarks
howtoget 01 134 4) submit a full biostratigraphic report to us
howtoget 01 135 -- this procedure is for both onshore AND offshore biostrat material.
howtoget 01 136
howtoget 01 138 - See http://www.ga.gov.au for the standard petroleum data submission guidelines
howtoget 01 139 and a DMP template.
