Georgina Basin Petroleum Prospectivity Study with HyLogging and Biostratigraphic Data

The Georgina Basin covers 325,000 km2 of western Queensland and the Northern Territory. Geoscience Australia's Onshore Energy Systems Group presents a synopsis of a multidisciplinary regional study, integrating reprocessed HyLogging data from 25 wells with wireline logs, biostratigraphy, TOC, and XRD measurements. The data package was released in 2014 and last updated on the platform in 2026.

Use Cases

• Characterizing potential hydrocarbon source rocks based on spectral response features of the Arthur Creek Formation 'hot shale'.
• Refining stratigraphic correlation models across depocentres using integrated HyLogging, wireline log, and biostratigraphic data.
• Mapping basin-wide mineralogical variations using reprocessed HyLogging data with a common set of mineral scalars.
• Testing correlative models across depocentres using middle Cambrian carbon isotope excursion data.

Strengths

• Internally-consistent, basin-wide dataset created by reprocessing HyLogging data from 25 wells using a common set of mineral scalars.
• Multidisciplinary integration of HyLogging, wireline log, biostratigraphic, TOC, and XRD datasets.
• Clear geographic scope defined as the 325,000 km2 southern Georgina Basin.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Primary data release was in 2014; freshness should be verified for current applications.
