Download or read book Geology and Hydrocarbon Prospectivity of the Deepwater Otway and Sorell Basins Offshore Southeastern Australia h online Resource c Andrew Stacey Cameron Mitchell Heike Struckmeyer and Jennifer Totterdell written by Andrew Stacey and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "As part of the Offshore Energy Security Program (2007-2011), Geoscience Australia (GA) undertook an integrated regional study of the deepwater Otway and Sorell basins to improve the understanding of the geology and petroleum prospectivity of the region. Major outputs of this study include: - New interpretations of basement architecture and structural fabric resulting in the recognition of the Avoca-Sorell Fault System as a major control on sedimentary basin development, - Extension of the tectonostratigraphic framework of Krassay et. al. (2004) into the deepwater Otway and Sorell basins, leading to new insights into their structural and accommodation histories of both basins, and - Petroleum systems modelling indicating that these basins are mature for oil and gas generation."--Online abstract.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Oil and gas discoveries in Australia's offshore basins are concentrated on the North West Shelf (Northern Carnarvon, Browse and Bonaparte basins) and Bass Strait (Gippsland, Otway and Bass basins). While discoveries have been made in a few regions outside these areas (e.g. Perth Basin), a large proportion of Australia's offshore basins remain exploration frontiers. However, the decline in oil production from the North West Shelf and Bass Strait basins since 2000 has led to an increasing exploration interest in the frontier basins. In order to improve our knowledge of the offshore frontiers and encourage exploration to these areas, from 2003-2011, Geoscience Australia was funded by the Australian Government to undertake a series of pre-competitive data acquisition and analyses programs in frontier basins around the Australian margin. This Record presents a comprehensive inventory of the geology, petroleum systems, exploration status and data coverage for 35 frontier basins, sub-basins and provinces, that draws on the results of those pre-competitive data programs, as well as exploration results and the geoscience literature. The Record also provides an assessment of the critical science and exploration questions and issues for each area. The results of each basin assessment are summarised in a prospectivity ranking. The availability of data and level of knowledge in each area is reflected in a confidence rating for that ranking. While the prospectivity of some areas is widely acknowledged to be high (e.g. Ceduna Sub-basin), the perception of prospectivity in many basins is negatively affected by the amount or quality of data available; in these basins, the acquisition of new data or targeted research could make a significant difference to the understanding of petroleum potential and likelihood of success. Therefore, recommendations for future work that could assist in addressing key knowledge or data gaps are included in each basin assessment." -- Online abstract.

Download or read book Geology and Prospectivity of the Northern Houtman Sub basin written by R. J. Owens and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 101 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Houtman Sub basin is an under-explored region of the northern Perth Basin, offshore Western Australia. Only three wells have been drilled in the southern part of the sub-basin, while the northern part remains an exploration frontier. Adjacent areas of the Perth Basin are proven hydrocarbon provinces with a long and continuing history of exploration, discovery and production. New seismic reflection data, obtained by Geoscience Australia in 2014-15 (GA-349) under the Australian government's precompetitive data acquisition program, has been used to reassess the tectonic evolution, structural architecture, major depositional phases and petroleum prospectivity of this frontier basin. Interpretation of these data has enabled mapping of the Moho, basement, pre-rift sequences and major syn rift sequences, along with the creation of a 3D geological model covering the survey area. As a result, this study has significantly reduced the level of exploration risk in the northern Houtman Sub-basin. Seismic interpretation, integrated with potential field modelling, shows a large variation in crustal structure beneath the study area."--Online abstract.

Book excerpt: "The Cooper Basin is a PennsylvanianMiddle Triassic intracratonic basin in northeastern South Australia and southwestern Queensland. In conjunction with the overlying Eromanga Basin, the basin is Australia's largest onshore producer of gas and oil. Exploration activity in the region has recently expanded with explorers pursuing a range of newly identified unconventional hydrocarbon plays. These include extensive tight gas accumulations in the Gidgealpa Group, deep dry coal seam gas associated with the Patchawarra and Toolachee formations, the less extensive shale gas plays in the Roseneath and Murteree shales and mixed lithotype hybrid plays (Goldstein et al., 2012; Menpes et al., 2013; Greenstreet, 2015). The Australian Petroleum Source Rocks Mapping project is a new study to improve our understanding of the petroleum resource potential of Australia's sedimentary basins."--Online abstract.
