Global Petroleum Limited (GBP.L) is an Australian-based oil and gas exploration company focused on identifying and developing hydrocarbon resources. The company offers exploration services, including seismic data acquisition and interpretation, drilling operations, and resource evaluation; it holds interests in permits such as PEL 90 in the Cooper Basin, Australia, and previously explored offshore blocks in Namibia and Tunisia. Operations span Australia, with historical activities in Africa, targeting conventional and unconventional oil and gas reservoirs for energy sector clients including independent producers and national oil companies. Founded in 1997 and headquartered in Perth, Australia, Global Petroleum maintains a lean structure with no major subsidiaries. In the last two years, the company has pursued strategic farm-out agreements for its Cooper Basin assets to share drilling risks and costs, announced positive drilling results from the Pelican prospect in 2024 confirming oil potential, and shifted focus to onshore Australian opportunities amid regulatory changes in offshore jurisdictions.
