About QER

Established in Australia in 2004, QER is an integrated resources and energy company committed to building a safe, economically viable and sustainable shale to liquids industry in Queensland that will help supply Australia’s oil requirements well into the next century.

QER holds mining and other tenement rights to several of the largest and potentially most productive oil shale deposits in Australia. These deposits contain an oil production potential three times bigger than Bass Strait, to date the largest single oil field discovered in Australia.

Sustainable development of these important resources provides a great opportunity for QER to contribute responsibly to Australia's ongoing need for transport fuels, and could yield billions of dollars worth of investment, provide thousands of permanent jobs and significantly reduce the deficit in Australia’s balance of trade by decreasing our reliance upon oil imports. To build a sustainable new industry of global significance takes drive, commitment and passion. That is why the people of QER are not only highly skilled, dynamic professionals, they function as a team because they share a common goal - to help secure Australia’s industrial and economic development and underpin the standard of living of all Australians.

Like any company or person, on its own QER cannot achieve everything it sets itself to deliver. That is why QER recognises the importance of building sustainable relationships with stakeholders and the communities in which it operates. The company endeavours to foster mutual respect and trust while contributing to positive regional development, training and employment.

• gain an understanding of the facts about shale oil production rather than the myths
• evaluate the value proposition that QER brings to Queensland and Australia.
