Fair Dinkum Energy since 1987

We dig holes.
Oil comes out.
No worries.

Australia's most laid-back oil & gas outfit. We drill, we strike the good oil, and we knock off by arvo for a cold one. She'll be right.

A word from the top paddock

Look, we're not gonna bang on about "synergies" and "stakeholder value." We poke holes in the dirt, we find the black stuff, and we're home in time for the footy. Been at it for yonks.

Our founder Bazza reckons the secret is "not overthinking it." He's usually right — except that one arvo in the Simpson Desert. We don't talk about the Simpson Desert.

What we get up to

Three things, mostly. Sometimes a fourth if Dave's had his coffee.

Drilling & That

We poke holes in the ground with big expensive gear. Sometimes we hit oil. Sometimes we hit a wombat's living room. It's a lottery, honestly.

Exploration

We wander the outback with fancy sensors and a bloke named Dave who "has a feel for it." Dave's feel has a 40% hit rate — 39% better than management forecast.

Consulting

Got an oil problem? We'll have a squiz, suck air through our teeth, and tell ya it'll cost more than you reckon. Standard.

The numbers, roughly

Give or take. We're an oil company, not accountants.

37
holes dug this year (12 on purpose)
1.2M
barrels pumped (ish)
0
drop bear incidents (touch wood)
4:30
daily knock-off, sharp

Safety First (ish)

We take safety dead seriously. Hard hats on site, sunscreen at all times, and absolutely no feeding the drop bears. If a drop bear gets ya — that's on you, mate. We did warn ya.

Give us a bell

Or don't. Reception's shocking out here.

Office

A tin shed just outside Coober Pedy. Look for the ute with the good tyres.

Phone

Don't bother — no bars for 400km. Bazza checks the sat phone on a good day.

Best bet

Just rock up with a slab and we'll have a proper yarn. That's how the big deals get done round here.
