Dampier Sub-Basin High-Resolution Seismic and Geochemical Survey, October 1990

The Dampier Sub-Basin, offshore Australia, was surveyed in October 1990. The joint BMR-Woodside Petroleum program collected 352 km of high-resolution seismic data and 530.6 km of water column geochemical data over four days. The Australian Ocean Data Network hosts the operations report for this survey.

Use Cases

• Analyzing subsurface geological structures based on the 352 km of high-resolution seismic data.
• Studying hydrocarbon indicators based on the 530.6 km of water column geochemical data.
• Assessing data acquisition quality for historical marine surveys based on the detailed operations report.

Strengths

• Data collection is precisely documented with specific dates (October 24-28, 1990) and times.
• Quantifies the volume of data collected: 352 km of seismic lines and 530.6 km of geochemical data.
• The description notes that 'Data quality appears to be good'.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• The data is from a single, brief survey in 1990, which may limit temporal analysis.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
