The Gippsland Basin in southeastern Victoria is Australia's major crude oil and natural gas producing province. This report details cumulative production to the end of 1986, including 344.66 million cubic meters of oil and 66.14 billion cubic meters of sales gas, and lists discovered economic, subeconomic, and uneconomic petroleum accumulations. It was published by the Australian Ocean Data Network.
Use Cases
- Analyze historical production trends based on cumulative oil and gas production figures to 1986.
- Assess resource potential based on the reported counts of economic, subeconomic, and uneconomic petroleum accumulations.
- Study geological characteristics based on descriptions of trap types, geological ages, and petroleum origin.
- Evaluate remaining reserves based on the estimated recoverable petroleum reserves as of December 1986.
Strengths
- Provides specific cumulative production figures for oil, condensate, LPG, and sales gas up to 1986.
- Contains detailed counts of discovered petroleum accumulations (11 economic, 26 subeconomic, 6 uneconomic offshore).
- Includes estimated remaining recoverable reserves for oil, condensate, LPG, and sales gas as of 1986.
Limitations
- Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
