Organic Geochemistry Data from 1995-1996 Petrel Sub-basin Study

1995-1996 data from the AGSO Petrel Sub-basin Study, aimed at understanding stratigraphic and structural development for petroleum exploration. The dataset contains organic geochemistry analyses of oils and source rocks, compiled by Geoscience Australia.

Use Cases

• Analyze organic geochemistry data to determine factors controlling petroleum system development and distribution in the basin.
• Correlate geochemical signatures between oils and source rocks to define the nature and age of the basin fill.
• Use petroleum geology and organic geochemistry data to model the tectonic evolution and resource potential of the Petrel Sub-basin.

Strengths

• Data originates from a focused 1995-1996 study by a national geological organization.
• Covers multiple aspects of basin analysis including petroleum systems, stratigraphy, and structural development.
• Includes analyses of both oils and source rocks for comparative geochemistry.

Limitations

• Specific row counts, column structures, and sample data are unavailable for review.
• Data is from a mid-1990s study and may not reflect the most current exploration models.
• Primary deliverables are in ZIP, PDF, and HTML formats, which may require extraction and manual parsing for analysis.
