Late Permian–Early Triassic Depositional History in the Southern Bonaparte Basin

An extended abstract from the 2021 APPEA Conference presents a study of the upper Permian to Lower Triassic sedimentary succession in the southern Bonaparte Basin. The work focuses on the timing, duration, distribution, and depositional environments of formations across the Permian–Triassic boundary in the Petrel Sub-basin and Londonderry High. It was published in The APPEA Journal on 2 July 2021.

Use Cases

• Modeling petroleum system elements based on the described chronostratigraphic framework.
• Correlating lithofacies changes from carbonate to siliciclastic formations across the Permian–Triassic boundary.
• Assessing gas resource distribution based on the interpreted marginal marine depositional system.
• Studying depositional environment migration in relation to the End Permian Extinction event.

Strengths

• Study is peer-reviewed and published in The APPEA Journal.
• Focuses on a specific, economically significant region with active gas production since 2009.
• Integrates regional well correlations and biostratigraphic data.

Limitations

• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
