The Australian petroleum accumulations report details discoveries in the Amadeus Basin of central Australia since 1963. It includes three economic and fourteen uneconomic accumulations, with API gravity ranges for crude oils and condensates, and estimated petroleum resources as of 31 December 1985. The dataset is provided by the Australian Ocean Data Network.
Use Cases
- Analyze petroleum accumulation types and economic viability based on the reported 17 total discoveries.
- Study the geological characteristics of petroleum traps based on the description of Upper Proterozoic to Upper Ordovician sequences.
- Model historical production and resource estimates based on the reported cumulative production and resource volumes.
- Evaluate pipeline infrastructure and transportation logistics based on the described pipeline distances and diameters.
Strengths
- Report includes specific resource estimates: 5.74 x 10^6 m^3 of oil, 1.53 x 10^6 m^3 of natural-gas liquids, and 14.93 x 10^9 m^3 of sales gas.
- Provides detailed API gravity ranges for crude oils (18 to 54°) and condensates (52 to 64°).
- Includes historical production data: cumulative production of 156.3 x 10^3 m^3 of oil/condensate and 44.0 x 10^6 m^3 of sales gas up to 31 December 1985.
Limitations
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
