Australian Ocean Data Network provides a petroleum systems analysis module for the North West Shelf, including the Beagle Sub-basin. The project established two relational databases containing biostratigraphic data and reservoir, facies, and hydrocarbon shows data. Analyses focus on comparing source quality and generation timing across similar systems in different areas.
Use Cases
- Compare source rock quality and hydrocarbon generation timing between different basins based on the petroleum systems analyses described.
- Conduct time-series searches of biostratigraphic data using the geologically intelligent routines mentioned.
- Analyze relationships between reservoir characteristics, facies, and hydrocarbon shows using the linked relational databases.
Strengths
- Data is structured within two relational databases (STRATDAT and RESFACS) designed for linkage and querying.
- Analysis covers eight basin modules across a large geographic area, including the entire North West Shelf and the Papuan basin in PNG.
Limitations
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
- Data is delivered as PDF and HTML files, which may require extraction for computational analysis.
