Since 1963, three economic and fourteen uneconomic petroleum accumulations have been discovered in the Amadeus Basin of central Australia. The report details estimated resources, production figures, and pipeline infrastructure as of 31 December 1985. This dataset is provided by the Australian Ocean Data Network.
Use Cases
- Analyze the distribution of oil, gas, and condensate accumulations based on the reported economic and uneconomic discoveries.
- Study the characteristics of petroleum resources based on reported API gravity ranges and geological origin.
- Assess historical production and infrastructure development based on cumulative production figures and pipeline details.
- Model basin resource estimates based on the reported volumes of oil, natural-gas liquids, and sales gas.
Strengths
- Reports specific resource estimates: 5.74 x 10^6 m³ of oil, 1.53 x 10^6 m³ of natural-gas liquids, and 14.93 x 10^9 m³ of sales gas.
- Provides concrete production figures: 156.3 x 10^3 m³ of oil/condensate and 44.0 x 10^6 m³ of sales gas produced by 31 December 1985.
- Includes detailed physical and geological characteristics, such as API gravity ranges and trap types.
Limitations
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
- Data reflects a specific historical snapshot as of 31 December 1985; freshness should be verified.
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
