A GHG project is a facility used to carry out GHG injection activities operated under a single safety management system. You must include GHG wells, or a series of GHG wells and associated storage and injection equipment used to carry out injection of a GHG stream into the same or associated reservoirs that are part of the one project.

Projects operated means projects started during the financial year.

Please provide number of GHG projects operated during the financial year.

The liable person is the operator of the drilling rig. This category includes all drilling operations with respect to petroleum, geothermal, GHG and UCG wells (or part wells).

Example: If you are the operator of an operating plant authorised to conduct drilling activities but hire a contractor to conduct the drilling and the operation of the drilling rig; the contracted company is liable as they are the operator of the drilling rig.

Please provide the total distance in kilometres drilled during the financial year for all petroleum wells, geothermal wells (other than wells drilled for wet geothermal production), GHG and UCG wells.

Note: Do not report drilling conducted on a coal mining lease where the mine operator will be reporting worker numbers for the Mines and Explosives Safety and Health Fee.

The liable person is the operator of a work over rig that performs well completion or maintenance work for a petroleum well, geothermal well, GHG well or UCG well.

Please provide the total number of wells for which completion or maintenance work was performed during the financial year.

Note: Do not include work on a coal mining lease where the mine operator will be reporting worker numbers for the safety and health levy.

The liable person is the operator of a non-automotive LPG delivery network if the combined water capacity of fuel gas containers for non-automotive LPG in the network is more than 12,000L.

If your business involves buying non-automotive LPG, you deliver it to or invoice your own customers (i.e. not as an agent for another supplier), regardless of who owns the containers, and you have more than 12,000L non-automotive LPG combined water capacity in your network, you are classified as an LPG delivery network for this category. This is defined in the Act.

A diagram showing three LPG Delivery Networks and their interaction with each other is provided in the document Fee and reporting requirements for LPG.

Please provide the maximum number and size of each of the following fuel gas containers in your network during the financial year.

This includes:

• containers held on site to be supplied to a customer (does not include a tank that is filled and maintained by another LPG Delivery Network as this tank is not supplied to a customer).
• containers held on customers' premises
• empty containers (exclude if empty the entire year)

The liable person is the operator. This category includes selling on a commission basis whether the delivery was by the product supplier or a third-party carrier (including another product supplier). Please provide the total number of times where automotive LPG was supplied to an automotive LPG site during the financial year.

Note: All operational devices, in use, during the reporting year, are required to be reported on.

^ Positive advance finding, for an operator’s activity at a facility, means an advance finding, issued by Innovation and Science Australia under the Industry Research and Development Act 1986 (Cwlth), confirming the activity is either of the following under that Act-

     a. a core R&D activity;
     b. a supporting R&D activity.

Evidential material must be provided to verify that activities at the site are for such purposes and not yet for commercial use or monetary gain or offset.

^^ Passively vented gas derived from a waste disposal tip means vented to the atmosphere, without mechanical assistance, in reliance on natural pressure gradients e.g. a bore drilled into a capped rubbish tip.

The liable person is the operator. The operator of a site is liable where the gas devices installed at the site have a total design gas capacity of 50GJ/hr or more and gas has been consumed at the site by a gas device.

Read more about reporting requirements for major consumers.

Note: This is not the quantity of gas consumed during a given period, rather it is the devices design capacity. The design capacity can be ascertained from the gas device approval documentation, or the consumption capacity listed on the device/appliance data plate.

The liable person is the operator of a special effects gas system. This category relates to gas systems used for special effects for entertainment or amusement purposes.

Note: If the theatrical or other special effect is produced by using gas through a gas system, you are liable to report in this category.

Please note when reporting:

• Operated includes all stages of operating plant from commissioned through to decommissioning. Do not include pipelines that have not been commissioned
• Pipelines on a PPL should be reported on separate lines.
• No rounding should take place when entering the length, the form will allow up to 3 decimals.
• The diameters have been provided to you in a drop down menu for selection. To see these tables and the related standards, please refer to the fact sheet linked below.
