Late Permian to Early Triassic Sedimentary Succession in the Southern Bonaparte Basin

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

Use Cases

• Modeling basin evolution based on described chronostratigraphic framework.
• Predicting petroleum system element distribution based on interpreted facies changes.
• Correlating well data based on described regional scale correlations and biostratigraphic assessment.
• Studying depositional response to the End Permian Extinction event based on described migration of marginal marine systems.

Strengths

• Focuses on a gas-producing basin with the Blacktip field in production since 2009.
• Interprets a long-lasting marine transgression across multiple formations.
• Published in a peer-reviewed journal (The APPEA Journal).

Limitations

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