An Assessment of the Tithonian Play in the Dampier Sub-Basin and Rankin Trend, Offshore We

A quantitative appraisal of hydrocarbon potential in the Tithonian play of the Dampier Sub-basin and Rankin Trend. The assessment includes results from six drilled wells, including the Angel gas and Egret oil discoveries, and evaluates four undrilled prospects using Monte Carlo simulation. The report was published by Geoscience Australia.

Use Cases

• Assessing undiscovered hydrocarbon resources based on Monte Carlo simulation results mentioned in the description
• Comparing exploration outcomes based on data from six drilled wells, including the Angel and Egret discoveries
• Evaluating specific undrilled prospects (Courtenay, Wallcot, Nickol, Finucane) using the prospect-by-prospect method described
• Modeling geological risk and volumetric potential for the Tithonian play in the Dampier Sub-basin

Strengths

• Assessment includes results from six specific drilled wells, providing concrete exploration data
• Uses a quantitative Monte Carlo simulation (SIMULAT) for probabilistic resource estimation
• Evaluates four named undrilled prospects (Courtenay, Wallcot, Nickol, Finucane) individually

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/HTML report formats, not as structured, machine-readable tables
