About us
Bridgeport was founded in 2009, to establish, acquire and develop oil and gas assets in Australia.
We have grown at the drill bit and through acquisitions to become the third largest operator and fourth largest tenement holder in the Cooper Basin. We now employ more than 50 people and focus on technical excellence, safe operations, and cost consciousness.
We hold 850 km² of net oil producing acreage in nine production projects in the Cooper-Eromanga Basin in Queensland and South Australia. Bridgeport’s nearby exploration permits cover an area of 1,016 km².
Our producing asset within the Surat Basin is the iconic Moonie Oil Field – the oldest, continuously producing oil field in Queensland. Including Moonie, Bridgeport holds 610 km² of net acreage in the Surat Basin.
We also own three exploration permits in the Otway Basin, two onshore and one offshore, totalling 4,508 km².
What we do
We work to develop oil and gas reserves, and increase production, through focussed technical analysis of our producing assets with the application of modern seismic, drilling and completion practices.
As a responsible operator of petroleum projects, we carefully control how we manage our footprint. We manage and mitigate potential impacts of our operations on the environment and local stakeholders through impact assessments, robust and considered operational control and effective risk management.

Working with communities
We understand oil and gas resources can generate new opportunities for long-term economic and social development. Whether undertaking seismic, drilling or production operations, we work closely with all relevant stakeholders, including current land holders, First Nations peoples and government bodies. In this way, we seek to ensure access to land for petroleum operations is properly conducted and all environmental risks are well understood and managed.
