The Otway Basin is a sedimentary basin on the south coast of Australia. It spans both on- and off-shore, across the boundary between the states of South Australia and Victoria and reaches across the western end of Bass Strait to the northwestern corner of Tasmania. It is a source of natural gas.

The Otway Basin dates from the Jurassic to late Cretaceous periods and is one of a number of basins underlying the Tertiary period Gambier Basin.[1] Along the coast, the basin extends from near Geelong in Victoria to Cape Jaffa in South Australia but it extends further west offshore. A number of commercial gas fields have been discovered and exploited, but no significant oil deposits have been found.[2]

Beach Energy has operations in Victoria in the Halladale and Speculant onshore fields and Geographe and Thylacine offshore fields. Gas from all of these is piped to the Otway Gas Plant for processing and injection into the SEAGas pipeline and South West Pipeline or storage at the nearby Iona Gas Plant.[3] It has exploration in South Australia in the vicinity of Penola with a view to develop a new gas processing facility to replace the retired Katnook Gas Plant which operated from 1991 to 2013 adjacent to the Ladbroke Grove Power Station.[4]
