Owens et al. (2022) published an extended abstract analyzing the upper Permian to Lower Triassic sedimentary succession in the southern Bonaparte Basin. The work integrates improved chronostratigraphic calibration and post-drill analysis of wells to address reservoir heterogeneity and exploration risks. The dataset likely contains stratigraphic interpretations and well data from the Petrel Sub-basin and Londonderry High.
Use Cases
- Model reservoir heterogeneity based on lithofacies transitions described in the sedimentary succession.
- Calibrate chronostratigraphic frameworks based on the re-interpreted palynological data.
- Assess exploration risks for gas resources based on post-drill analysis of reservoir effectiveness.
- Map depositional environments across the Petrel Sub-basin and Londonderry High using the improved stratigraphic scheme.
Strengths
- Analysis is informed by recent improvements in chronostratigraphic calibration of Australian biostratigraphic schemes.
- Focuses on a specific, productive geological region containing the Blacktip gas field in production since 2009.
- Provides a re-interpretation and infill sampling of well data for better stratigraphic resolution.
Limitations
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
- Data may reflect geographic bias inherent to data_gov_au, focusing solely on the southern Bonaparte Basin.
Provenance
- Source
