Victoria fears own oil may cost more than imports
The Victorian Government fears offshore oil may be pricier than overseas imports. Local refineries pay about 850 per barrel for domestic oil, roughly a dollar more than imported oil landed in Australia. The loading includes an exploration incentive payment through 1970, with Minister Balfour hoping Gippsland oil and gas will lower natural gas and oil costs. He urged the Commonwealth to review the situation within 12 to 18 months and noted potential royalties and uncertainties about project scope and 1974 prices.
