Mining, Energy, Oil & Gas
Mining Equipment, Technology & Services (METS)
Western Australia’s dynamic mining and resources industry is a significant strength and contributor to the state’s economy.
Investment opportunities exist in core engineering design and project management, consulting services, core mining and processing equipment, IT equipment and related services, specialised technology and general support services.
Attracted by the strength of Western Australia’s mining sector, many international METS companies have chosen to expand operations to include Perth through acquisitions, partnerships or opening their own local office.
Energy
Western Australia has a world-class energy sector built on liquefied natural gas (LNG), critical minerals and emerging clean energy industries. As one of the world’s leading LNG exporters, the State continues to play a key role in meeting growing energy demand across the Asia-Pacific region.
Significant natural gas reserves support long-term energy security and regional economic development, while increasing investment in renewable energy, green hydrogen and battery storage is accelerating the transition to a lower-carbon economy.
Abundant land, world-class wind and solar resources, and strong export links position Western Australia as a future global hub for renewable energy and clean fuel production.
Oil & Gas
Western Australia is home to one of the world’s most sophisticated energy and resources service ecosystems. More than 900 Petroleum Engineering and Technical Services (PETS) companies, including over 400 international firms, operate from Perth, supporting projects across Australia, Asia and beyond.
Perth is recognised as a global hub for engineering expertise and innovation, with a highly skilled workforce and a strong concentration of resources, energy and technology professionals. The city has established itself as a leading centre for mining, oil and gas, clean energy, and advanced engineering services.
