The Gippsland Basin in southeastern Victoria is Australia's major crude oil and natural gas producing province. This report details cumulative production figures to the end of 1986, including 344.66 million cubic meters of oil and 66.14 billion cubic meters of sales gas, and lists the number of economic, subeconomic, and uneconomic petroleum accumulations discovered. Data is provided by the Australian Ocean Data Network.
Use Cases
- Analyze historical production trends based on cumulative oil, gas, condensate, and LPG figures.
- Assess exploration success rates based on the count of economic, subeconomic, and uneconomic accumulations.
- Model petroleum reserves based on estimated remaining recoverable volumes for oil, condensate, LPG, and sales gas.
- Study petroleum geology based on descriptions of trap types, geological sequences, and oil origin.
Strengths
- Provides specific cumulative production volumes for oil, condensate, LPG, and sales gas up to 31 December 1986.
- Lists concrete counts of discovered petroleum accumulations, categorized as economic, subeconomic, and uneconomic.
- Includes detailed estimated remaining recoverable reserves for four petroleum product types.
Limitations
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
- Data is historical, with the latest reported figures from 1986; freshness should be verified.
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
