Survey 97: High-Resolution Seismic and Geochemical Data from the Dampier Sub-Basin, 1990

The Dampier Sub-Basin offshore Australia was surveyed in October 1990. A joint BMR-Woodside Petroleum program collected 352 km of high-resolution seismic data and 530.6 km of water column geochemical data. The data quality was reported as good.

Use Cases

• Model subsurface geology based on the 352 km of high-resolution seismic lines.
• Analyze hydrocarbon seeps or fluid migration based on the 530.6 km of water column geochemical data.
• Study the geological structure of the Dampier Sub-Basin based on the 17 agreed survey lines.
• Assess seismic data acquisition quality based on the reported use of 390 magnetic tapes.

Strengths

• Includes 352 km of high-resolution seismic data.
• Contains an additional 530.6 km of water column geochemical data.
• Data quality was explicitly noted as 'good' in the operations report.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Data is from a specific, short campaign in October 1990; temporal coverage is limited.
