Western Australia's offshore hydrocarbon potential is assessed for the Tithonian play in the Dampier Sub-basin and Rankin Trend. The assessment includes results from six wells, including the Angel gas and Egret oil discoveries, and uses Monte Carlo simulation to evaluate four undrilled prospects. The dataset originates from the Australian Ocean Data Network.
Use Cases
- Quantify remaining hydrocarbon potential based on the prospect-by-prospect assessment method.
- Validate geological models using data from the six tested wells, including Angel and Egret.
- Apply Monte Carlo simulation techniques for resource estimation as described in the report.
- Compare the assessed potential of the Courtenay, Wallcot, Nickol, and Finucane prospects.
Strengths
- Assessment includes results from six wells, with two being significant discoveries.
- Evaluates four specific undrilled prospects: Courtenay, Wallcot, Nickol, and Finucane.
- Methodology employs a quantitative Monte Carlo simulation program called SIMULAT.
Limitations
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
- Data is presented in PDF and HTML formats, which may require extraction for analysis.
