Australian Petroleum Systems Analysis for Roebuck and Offshore Canning Basins

Eight basin modules covering the North West Shelf, Petrel Sub-basin, and Papuan basin in PNG. The project established two relational databases containing biostratigraphic data (STRATDAT) and reservoir, facies, and hydrocarbon shows data (RESFACS). Petroleum systems analyses compared source quality and generation timing across different areas.

Use Cases

• Analyze source quality and timing of generation using linked STRATDAT and RESFACS databases for petroleum systems comparison.
• Conduct time series searches across biostratigraphic data (STRATDAT) with geologically intelligent routines.
• Compare reservoir and facies characteristics (RESFACS data) between similar petroleum systems in different geographic areas.
• Integrate biostratigraphic (STRATDAT) and hydrocarbon shows data (RESFACS) for basin-scale petroleum systems modeling.

Strengths

• Covers eight basin modules across a significant geographic area including the North West Shelf and Papuan basin.
• Data structured in two specialized relational databases (STRATDAT and RESFACS) for integrated analysis.
• Includes petroleum systems analyses with results focused on source quality and generation timing comparisons.

Limitations

• Data is delivered in document formats (HTML, PDF), not in a directly machine-readable tabular structure.
• Specific row counts, column details, and sample data are unavailable for assessment.
• The technical, geological nature of the data requires domain expertise for effective use.
