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

An assessment of the hydrocarbon potential of the Tithonian play in the Dampier Sub-basin and Rankin Trend, offshore Western Australia. The report includes a quantitative appraisal using Monte Carlo simulation and references six drilled wells, including the Angel gas and Egret oil discoveries. This dataset was published by Geoscience Australia Data and was last updated on 2026-05 14.

Use Cases

• Model hydrocarbon prospectivity based on the described Monte Carlo simulation methodology.
• Assess exploration risk for the four undrilled prospects (Courtenay, Wallcot, Nickol, Finucane) mentioned in the description.
• Benchmark discovery potential against the documented Angel gas and Egret oil wells.
• Support regional geological studies of the Tithonian play in the Dampier Sub-basin.

Strengths

• Includes analysis of six drilled wells with specific discovery outcomes (Angel gas, Egret oil).
• Assesses potential for four named undrilled prospects (Courtenay, Wallcot, Nickol, Finucane).
• Uses a quantitative appraisal method involving Monte Carlo simulation (SIMULAT program).
• Published by the authoritative national geoscience organization, Geoscience Australia Data.

Limitations

• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
