Australian Petroleum Accumulations in the Carnarvon Basin, 1992 Report

Seventy-three petroleum accumulations discovered up to 30 June 1992 in Western Australia's Carnarvon Basin. The report from Geoscience Australia details the geological setting, trapping mechanisms, and development infrastructure for these offshore and onshore resources. It describes accumulations in Triassic to Cretaceous sedimentary rocks within specific sub-basins and the associated production facilities.

Use Cases

• Modeling petroleum system evolution based on described Triassic to Cretaceous sedimentary sequences.
• Analyzing hydrocarbon trapping mechanisms based on described structural and stratigraphic traps.
• Mapping historical energy infrastructure based on described offshore platforms, pipelines, and onshore processing plants.
• Studying the distribution of gas and oil fields based on described locations in the Barrow, Dampier, and Exmouth Sub-basins.

Strengths

• Describes 73 specific petroleum accumulations with a documented cutoff date of 30 June 1992.
• Provides detailed geological context including rock ages (Triassic to Cretaceous), depositional environments, and specific sub-basin locations.
• Lists 13 active developments and 9 planned developments as of the report date, with named infrastructure.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Last updated 2026-04-20 01:52:32.357506; freshness should be verified as the core data is from 1992.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment for quantitative analysis.
