Late Permian to Early Triassic sedimentary succession data from the southern Bonaparte Basin, focusing on the Petrel Sub-basin and Londonderry High. The dataset, published in The APPEA Journal in July 2021, describes a marginal marine depositional system that hosts gas accumulations like the Blacktip field. It includes interpretations of lithofacies changes, depositional environments, and a chronostratigraphic framework for predicting petroleum system elements.
Use Cases
- Modeling basin evolution based on described lithofacies changes from carbonate to siliciclastic formations.
- Assessing hydrocarbon prospectivity based on the distribution of gas accumulations like the Blacktip field.
- Correlating stratigraphic units and depositional environments across the Permian–Triassic boundary.
- Building chronostratigraphic frameworks for petroleum system analysis in the Petrel Sub-basin.
Strengths
- Focuses on a specific, economically significant region (southern Bonaparte Basin) with known gas production since 2009.
- Integrates regional well correlations and biostratigraphic data to interpret depositional history.
- Provides a chronostratigraphic framework with implications for predicting petroleum system elements.
Limitations
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
- Data may reflect geographic/temporal bias inherent to data_gov_au.
