Three economic and fourteen uneconomic petroleum accumulations have been discovered since 1963 in the Amadeus Basin. The basin's estimated resources as of 31 December 1985 comprise 5.74 million cubic meters of oil, 1.53 million cubic meters of natural-gas liquids, and 14.93 billion cubic meters of sales gas. This report from the Australian Ocean Data Network details the geological characteristics, production history, and pipeline infrastructure.
Use Cases
- Analyze petroleum resource estimates based on reported volumes of oil, natural-gas liquids, and sales gas.
- Study geological formation and trap types based on descriptions of Upper Proterozoic to Upper Ordovician sequences.
- Evaluate production and transportation infrastructure based on cumulative production figures and pipeline distances.
Strengths
- Provides specific resource estimates: 5.74 million cubic meters of oil, 1.53 million cubic meters of natural-gas liquids, and 14.93 billion cubic meters of sales gas.
- Includes detailed production history with cumulative figures: 156.3 thousand cubic meters of oil/condensate and 44.0 million cubic meters of sales gas up to 31 December 1985.
- Describes physical characteristics of the petroleum, such as API gravity ranges from 18 to 54 degrees for crude oils.
Limitations
