A multi-disciplinary study integrating sequence stratigraphy, palaeogeography and geochemical data has mapped the spatial and temporal distribution of Jurassic to earliest Cretaceous source rocks in the Browse Basin. The study allows a better understanding of the source rocks contribution to known hydrocarbon accumulations and charge history, including in underexplored areas. The dataset is hosted by the Australian Ocean Data Network.
Use Cases
- Mapping hydrocarbon source rock distribution based on sequence stratigraphy and palaeogeography
- Analyzing charge history for gas and condensate accumulations based on geochemical data
- Identifying potential plays in underexplored areas based on mapped source rock distribution
- Correlating sediment depositional architecture with petroleum system outcomes based on the multi-disciplinary study
Strengths
- Focuses on a basin with considerable gas and condensate resources, including the Ichthys and Prelude LNG fields
- Integrates multiple disciplines: sequence stratigraphy, palaeogeography, and geochemical data
Limitations
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
- Data is provided as PDF; structured tabular or geospatial data formats are not specified
