Northwestern Australia's Arafura, Bonaparte, and Canning Basins contain isotopic and biomarker analyses of Cambrian to Permian oils and source rocks. The data characterizes five distinct petroleum systems within the Larapintine and Gondwanan Petroleum Supersystems, identifying specific geochemical signatures for correlation. The study was published in The APPEA Journal in 1997 and is hosted by the Australian Ocean Data Network.
Sequence stratigraphy concepts provide a tool to analyze stratal architecture and predict petroleum system elements in sedimentary basins. This document, hosted by the Australian Ocean Data Network, reviews fundamental concepts and their application to hydrocarbon exploration in Australia's onshore Canning and offshore Carnarvon Basins. The last update was recorded on 2026-06-27.
130 core samples and natural gas analyses resolve the generation and migration history of petroleum in Australia's Bowen and Surat basins. Biomarker and stable carbon-isotope analysis confirmed a dominant Permian terrestrial source with minor Triassic and marine influences. The data, hosted by the Australian Ocean Data Network, details liquid expulsion and gas generation phases alongside biodegradation effects.
A 1990 research project by the Bureau of Mineral Resources (BMR) Marine Division proposed mapping Late Triassic reef complexes on Australia's Northwest Shelf. The dataset likely contains seismic profiles and dredge data aimed at assessing a new petroleum exploration play, with a BMR estimate suggesting a 50% chance of reefs hosting 60 million barrels of undiscovered oil. The work focuses on the northern Exmouth Plateau and Wombat Plateau, extending into the Canning and outer Bonaparte Basins.
An eight-day survey in 2014 characterized a surface CO2 leak at a research site in Qinghai, China. The dataset includes soil gas and soil flux measurements used to map leak distribution and estimate an emission rate of 649-1015 kgCO2/d. It was published by the Australian Ocean Data Network and supports research on monitoring technologies for geological carbon storage.
Geochemical analysis of 96 individual waxy bitumen specimens collected from beaches in South Australia and western Victoria during 1991-1992. The dataset, hosted by the Australian Ocean Data Network, categorizes the strandings into at least five distinct oil families with inferred origins in Southeast Asian sedimentary basins. It represents a study of non-indigenous petroleum influx carried by the Leeuwin Current.
The UK Continental Shelf (UKCS) is the geographic scope of this geochemical database compiled in the first year of the UKCS Petroleum Systems Project. It was created in collaboration with Lloyd’s Register, IGI, and the British Geological Survey (BGS) to support the 32nd Licensing Round. The majority of the data represents legacy geochemical information collated from CDA (now NDR).
Australian oil and gas pipeline infrastructure data converted from a 2004 Microstation map titled 'Petroleum Exploration and Development Titles'. The dataset includes added attributes for data standards and incorporates information for specific Acreage Release Areas. This metadata was prepared for the North West Atlas by the Australian Ocean Data Network, but it is not the authoritative version.
Geoscience Australia compiled biophysical seabed information for Australia's Exclusive Economic Zone to support marine conservation planning under the EPBC Act 1999. The data includes bathymetry, geomorphology, acoustic properties, sediment properties, slope, and sediment mobilisation, integrated into 'seascape' maps. This information provides 100% spatial coverage of the EEZ based on objective, multivariate statistical methods.
Geoscience Australia's Australian National Hydrocarbon Geochemistry Data Collection comprises Oracle database tables from the Organic Geochemistry schema and derivative information in the Petroleum Systems Summary database. The data includes organic geochemistry, organic petrology, and stable isotope results from source rocks, crude oils, and natural gases across Australian sedimentary basins, compiled from industry submissions, research projects, and published reports.
A study compares the geochemical characteristics of four Australian petroleum systems ranging from the Ordovician to Early Cretaceous. The research, sourced from the Australian Ocean Data Network, analyzes source rocks deposited in marine environments with varying contributions of terrestrial organic matter. The dataset was last updated on 2026-06-23.
Regional distributions of annual emissions for 16 polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and 21 Alkylated PAHs were developed for the Athabasca oil sands region (AOSR) in northern Alberta, Canada, covering an area of approximately 300 by 420 km2. The dataset, provided by Environment and Climate Change Canada, is intended for use in air quality modeling studies to assess the cumulative environmental impacts of oil sands industrial activities. The emission inventory was validated by comparing dispersion model simulations with passive sampling measurements collected at 17 monitoring sites.
35 global experts identified the top ten research priorities for decommissioning offshore oil and gas structures through a horizon-scan process. The resulting list includes 257 categorized research questions across five disciplinary areas, 15 topics, and 38 sub-topics. This dataset was compiled by the Australian Ocean Data Network and is associated with a 2023 scientific paper.
Data and results from developing a parameterization for solar radiation distribution over rugged terrain, intended for Earth System Models. The dataset includes digital elevation maps from the Shuttle Radar Topography Mission, atmospheric optical properties, derived terrain parameters, and Monte Carlo simulation results. Enrico Zorzetto of Princeton University produced this dataset.
Version 1 of the Soil and Landscape Grid of Australia's Available Phosphorus product provides modelled estimates of soil phosphorus across Australia. The dataset includes 18 raster maps at six depth intervals from 0-200 cm, with a spatial resolution of 3 arc seconds (~90 meters). Data was produced by the Terrestrial Ecosystem Research Network and aligns with GlobalSoilMap specifications.
Version 1 of the Australian Soil Cation Exchange Capacity product from the Soil and Landscape Grid of Australia provides modelled estimates of soil cation exchange capacity across the continent. The dataset includes 18 raster maps at six depth intervals from 0-200 cm, with a spatial resolution of 3 arc seconds (~90 meters). It was produced by the Terrestrial Ecosystem Research Network's Data Discovery and follows GlobalSoilMap specifications.
A study integrating remote sensing, geophysical, acoustic, photographic, and geochemical techniques to investigate natural hydrocarbon seeps on the Ashmore Platform in the Bonaparte Basin, Australia. The findings, published in Marine and Petroleum Geology in 2017, identify three seepage areas and provide geochemical evidence linking the hydrocarbons to the Lower Cretaceous Echuca Shoals Formation. This dataset is hosted by the Australian Ocean Data Network.
Australia-wide modelled estimates of soil pH (1:5 soil water solution) across six standard depths from 0-5 cm to 100-200 cm. The Soil and Landscape Grid of Australia produced 18 raster maps at a 3 arc-second resolution (~90m pixels), with data coverage from approximately 1950 to 2021. This version 1 product follows GlobalSoilMap specifications and is provided by the Terrestrial Ecosystem Research Network.
Version 2 of the Australian Total Soil Phosphorus product from the Soil and Landscape Grid of Australia. It provides modelled estimates of total phosphorus distribution across Australia at six standard soil depths, with a spatial resolution of 3 arc seconds (~90 meters). The data consists of 24 gridded maps and is produced by the Terrestrial Ecosystem Research Network.
Australian Ocean Data Network provides a geochemical study of petroleum systems in the Browse Basin, offshore Australia's North West Shelf. The analysis correlates four Mesozoic petroleum systems with gas-prone (dew point) systems based on source rock and fluid geochemistry. The dataset was last updated on 2026-06-23.
