"Any new conventional on-shore gas extracted from Victoria would need to be offered to local gas users first, under a plan being considered by the Andrews government to tackle a looming supply crisis.

The state government has examined a so-called “domestic prioritisation mechanism” under which Victorian gas users would get the “right of first offer” for any new Victorian gas projects, either in the Otway Basin or the Gippsland Basin."

and

"Currently, all of Victoria’s gas comes from offshore gas fields in Bass Strait. But according to a government assessment – the result of the state’s latest airborne survey and thousands of rock samples collected from the Otway and Gippsland basins – the state could produce up to 830 petajoules of extra onshore conventional gas.

According to the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission Victoria’s current existing offshore basins hold a total of 2,768 “proved and probable” petajoules of gas in reserve."
