16.5 TCF of gas, 4026 MMbbl of oil, 385 MMbbl of condensate, and 752 MMbbl of LPG have been found in the Gippsland Basin as of 2012. This dataset likely contains geochemical fingerprinting results for these hydrocarbons, presented at the AAPG/SEG 2015 International Conference. The Australian Ocean Data Network hosts the data.
Use Cases
- Correlating oil and gas sources to specific geological formations based on geochemical fingerprinting.
- Identifying migration pathways between source rock and reservoir based on hydrocarbon signatures.
- Assessing remaining exploration prospectivity in the basin based on source rock analysis.
- Evaluating potential for carbon dioxide sequestration based on basin geology.
Strengths
- Provides specific resource totals: 16.5 TCF gas, 4026 MMbbl oil, 385 MMbbl condensate, 752 MMbbl LPG.
- Identifies specific hydrocarbon fields and formations, such as Barracouta, Longtom, and the Latrobe Group.
- Includes geochemical correlations for specific wells like Anemone-1A and Volador-1.
Limitations
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
- Data freshness should be verified; the underlying analysis is from a 2015 conference.
