Australian Petroleum Accumulations in the Carnarvon Basin to 1992

73 petroleum accumulations were documented in the Carnarvon Basin of Western Australia up to 30 June 1992. The report describes their geological context in Triassic to Cretaceous sedimentary rocks, trapping mechanisms, and associated production infrastructure. The dataset was sourced from the Australian Ocean Data Network.

Use Cases

• Mapping petroleum accumulation locations based on described sub-basins and shelves.
• Analyzing geological trapping mechanisms based on structural and stratigraphic trap descriptions.
• Studying historical production infrastructure based on listed offshore platforms and onshore facilities.

Strengths

• 73 documented petroleum accumulations provide a specific count of discoveries.
• Report includes detailed geological context, including rock ages and depositional environments.
• Lists 13 active developments and 9 planned developments as of 1992.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Data is historical, with a cutoff date of June 1992.
