Hydrocarbon Potential Assessment for Tithonian Play in Western Australia

An assessment of the Tithonian play's hydrocarbon potential in the Dampier Sub-Basin and Rankin Trend, offshore Western Australia. The Australian Ocean Data Network published this record, which includes analysis of six drilled wells and four undrilled prospects. The data was last updated in April 2026.

Use Cases

• Assess undiscovered hydrocarbon volumes in prospects like Courtenay and Wallcot using Monte Carlo simulation results.
• Compare discovery outcomes from wells such as Angel (gas) and Egret (oil) to calibrate future prospect assessments.
• Model geological risk and resource distribution for the Tithonian play based on the prospect-by-prospect evaluation method.

Strengths

• Analysis includes data from six drilled wells, providing concrete discovery outcomes.
• Assessment covers four specific undrilled prospects: Courtenay, Wallcot, Nickol, and Finucane.

Limitations

• Sample size is limited to six wells and four prospects, which may not represent the full basin.
• Core data columns and raw simulation inputs are not explicitly provided in the description.
• Primary documentation is in HTML and PDF formats, which are not machine-readable tabular data.
