National Petroleum Wells Database With Biostratigraphy And Geochemistry

Header data, biostratigraphy, organic geochemistry, reservoir and facies, stratigraphy, velocity and directional surveys are provided for offshore and onshore regions. Scientific data entry is generally only conducted for offshore wells, while onshore data is acquired from state geological surveys. This record has been retired and superseded by eCat 126310 as of June 2023, with the data now combined into the Geoscience Australia Borehole Database.

Use Cases

• Analyze reservoir and facies data alongside stratigraphy to model hydrocarbon potential.
• Correlate biostratigraphy and organic geochemistry features to assess source rock maturity.
• Use velocity and directional survey data for subsurface mapping and well trajectory planning.
• Compare offshore well header data with onshore data acquired from state surveys for regional studies.

Strengths

• Includes multiple data themes: header data, biostratigraphy, organic geochemistry, reservoir and facies, stratigraphy, velocity and directional surveys.
• Covers both offshore and onshore geographical regions.

Limitations

• The dataset is retired and superseded, indicating it is no longer actively maintained or updated.
• Scientific data entry is generally only conducted for offshore wells, suggesting potential gaps or lower detail for onshore data.
