Permian-Triassic Sedimentary Succession Analysis in Bonaparte Basin

An extended abstract from the 2021 APPEA Conference analyzes the Late Permian to Early Triassic sedimentary succession in the southern Bonaparte Basin. The study focuses on the timing and depositional environments of formations like Dombey, Tern, and Penguin across the Petrel Sub-basin and Londonderry High. It was published in The APPEA Journal on July 2, 2021.

Use Cases

• Correlating lithofacies changes from the carbonate-dominated Dombey Formation to siliciclastic Tern and Penguin formations for basin modeling.
• Mapping the migration timeline of marginal marine depositional systems relative to the End Permian Extinction event using biostratigraphic data.
• Interpreting the transition to fully marine deposition in the Early Triassic Mairmull Formation for paleoenvironmental reconstruction.
• Building a chronostratigraphic framework from the depositional history to predict petroleum system element distribution.

Strengths

• Peer-reviewed publication in The APPEA Journal, a recognized industry source.
• Analysis covers a significant stratigraphic interval spanning the Permian–Triassic boundary.

Limitations

• Dataset consists of a conference abstract and journal article, not primary raw data tables or measurements.
• Spatial analysis is confined to the Petrel Sub-basin and Londonderry High within the southern Bonaparte Basin.
