Ken,

The one off Karratha (WA) is almost certainly gas production, and the one off E Vic might also be gas - there is gas production in E Gippsland, but whether it is related I'm not sure...

Take a look at the LP map for W Europe at the website, and you will see that it looks like the North Sea is full of 'brightness of large cities' - all oil rigs. Same across the Persian Gulf and SE Nigeria - almost the only lit-up place in Africa.

Now let's pray there is nothing of value to be dug up in Coonabarabran - or in Snake Valley, for that matter....
