Eight basin modules covering the North West Shelf, Petrel Sub-basin, and Papuan basin in PNG were examined. Two relational databases contain biostratigraphic data (STRATDAT) and reservoir, facies, and hydrocarbon shows data (RESFACS). Petroleum systems analyses were conducted on each area, comparing source quality and timing of generation.
Use Cases
- Compare hydrocarbon source quality and generation timing between similar systems in different areas based on petroleum systems analyses.
- Analyze reservoir characteristics and facies distributions based on the RESFACS database.
- Perform time-series geological searches based on linked biostratigraphic and reservoir data.
- Evaluate hydrocarbon shows and potential based on integrated relational databases.
Strengths
- Eight basin modules provide coverage of almost the entire North West Shelf.
- Two relational databases (STRATDAT and RESFACS) are linked by application programs for integrated analysis.
- Petroleum systems analyses were conducted on each area.
Limitations
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
