Subsidence and thermal history analysis of 31 wells and 25 depocentre sites examines hydrocarbon expulsion in the Browse Basin. Models incorporate new palaeo-bathymetric estimates and kerogen kinetic data for Jurassic and Early Cretaceous source units. The dataset was published by the Australian Ocean Data Network and last updated in April 2026.
Use Cases
- Model hydrocarbon expulsion timing based on subsidence and thermal history data.
- Identify effective source units for oil and gas charge using modeled expulsion volumes.
- Assess exploration potential in specific grabens and sub-basins based on expulsion sensitivity to organic richness.
- Evaluate the impact of Late Tertiary carbonate clinoforms on fluid migration pathways.
Strengths
- Analysis covers 31 wells and 25 depocentre sites, providing a regional perspective.
- Models incorporate new palaeo-bathymetric estimates and kerogen kinetic data for multiple source units.
Limitations
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
