AGSO-APIRA Australian Petroleum Systems Project includes eight basin modules covering the North West Shelf, Petrel Sub-basin, and the Papuan basin in PNG. Two relational databases contain biostratigraphic data (STRATDAT) and reservoir, facies, and hydrocarbon shows data (RESFACS). Petroleum systems analyses compare source quality and generation timing across different areas.
Use Cases
- Modeling petroleum generation timing based on biostratigraphic data.
- Comparing source rock quality across different offshore basins.
- Analyzing reservoir characteristics and hydrocarbon shows from facies data.
Strengths
- Data is part of a multi-basin project covering eight modules across a major geological region.
- Databases are linked by application programs allowing time series searching with geologically intelligent routines.
Limitations
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
- Data is available only in HTML and PDF formats, which may complicate direct analysis.
Provenance
- Source
- Australian Ocean Data Network
- Collection Method
- Part of the AGSO-APIRA Australian Petroleum Systems Project, which established relational databases from geological analyses.
