Welcome to Lakes Oil

An unconventional oil & gas company 

With 2008 marking its 62nd anniversary, Melbourne-based Lakes Oil NL is the oldest Australian oil and gas explorer still operating in the country.

The company provides one of the few remaining links between the struggles to find and produce Australia's first indigenous oil reserves during the early part of this century and the relative comfort of the nation's near self-sufficiency in petroleum production during the 1990s.

Lakes has also kept alive the pioneering spirit of a once larger band of optimistic junior explorers willing to tackle programs in which more cautious major companies have declined to take part.

Taking its name from the Lakes district of Gippsland in south eastern Victoria, Lakes Oil plunged straight into a project to produce oil from shallow glauconite sands at the town of Lakes Entrance via a series of wells drilled from the base of a specially dug mine shaft.
