Description
An extended abstract from the 2021 APPEA Conference analyzes the Late Permian to Early Triassic sedimentary succession in the southern Bonaparte Basin, Australia. The study focuses on the timing, distribution, and depositional environments of formations like the Dombey, Tern, Penguin, and Mairmull. It translates the basin's depositional history into a chronostratigraphic framework relevant for petroleum system elements.
Use Cases
Modeling marginal marine depositional systems based on described lithofacies changes from carbonate to siliciclastic.
Correlating stratigraphic units and timing of deposition based on the described regional well correlations and biostratigraphic data.
Predicting petroleum system element character and distribution based on the derived chronostratigraphic framework for the Petrel Sub-basin and Londonderry High.
Strengths
Study is peer-reviewed and published in The APPEA Journal 61(2) 699-706.
Analysis is grounded in regional well correlations and an assessment of available biostratigraphic data.
Focuses on a specific, economically significant geological interval (Permian-Triassic) and region (Bonaparte Basin).
Limitations
The dataset appears to be a conference abstract and paper (PDF/HTML), not a primary data table; column-level documentation is absent.
Row count and data file size are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment for quantitative analysis.
Freshness should be verified; the last metadata update was 2026-06-05, but the underlying study is from 2021.
Provenance
Source
Australian Ocean Data Network via data.gov.au
Collection Method
Likely contains interpreted geological data from well logs, seismic, and biostratigraphy compiled for research.
Time Range
Late Permian to Early Triassic geological period.
Freshness
Underlying study published 2 July 2021; metadata last updated 2026-06-05.
Geography
Southern Bonaparte Basin, specifically the Petrel Sub-basin and Londonderry High, Australia.
Primary data files are not visible; the record points to a PDF/HTML document (an extended abstract/paper).
