Southern Bonaparte Basin Permian-Triassic Sedimentary Succession and Gas Resources

The southern Bonaparte Basin in Australia contains an upper Permian to Lower Triassic sedimentary succession. This study focuses on the timing, distribution, and depositional environments of formations like the Dombey, Tern, and Penguin, which host gas resources including the Blacktip field. The data was published by Geoscience Australia in The APPEA Journal in July 2021.

Use Cases

• Modeling basin evolution based on described marginal marine depositional systems.
• Assessing petroleum system elements based on the chronostratigraphic framework mentioned.
• Correlating well data based on the regional scale well correlations described.
• Studying depositional environment changes across the Permian-Triassic boundary as described.

Strengths

• Focuses on a specific, economically significant basin with known gas production since 2009.
• Integrates regional well correlations and biostratigraphic data as described in the study.
• Published in a peer-reviewed journal (The APPEA Journal) in 2021.

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.
