Georgina Basin Mineralogy And Geochemistry Data From 25 Wells

Geoscience Australia's Onshore Energy Systems Group presents a synopsis of a regional study on the southern Georgina Basin. The data package includes raw and reprocessed HyLogging data from 25 wells, integrated with wireline logs, biostratigraphy, total organic carbon, and X-ray diffraction measurements. This multidisciplinary project covers a 325,000 km² Neoproterozoic to Lower Devonian sedimentary basin in western Queensland and the Northern Territory.

Use Cases

• Characterize potential hydrocarbon source rocks based on spectral responses in the Arthur Creek Formation.
• Refine stratigraphic correlation models using integrated HyLogging, wireline log, and biostratigraphic data.
• Identify mineralogical variations within basin formations using reprocessed HyLogging data with common mineral scalars.
• Analyze the relationship between spectral response, total organic carbon, and core total gamma for rock unit identification.
• Test correlative models across basin depocentres using middle Cambrian carbon isotope excursions.

Strengths

• Data integrates multiple measurement types: HyLogging, wireline logs, biostratigraphy, total organic carbon, and X-ray diffraction.
• HyLogging data from 25 wells were reprocessed using a common set of mineral scalars to create an internally-consistent, basin-wide dataset.
• The study area is well-defined, covering a 325,000 km² sedimentary basin with identified depocentres and formations.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Data files are in PDF and HTML formats, which may require extraction and conversion for analysis.
