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

October 24-28, 1990 seismic and geochemical survey conducted jointly by BMR and Woodside Petroleum in the Dampier Sub-Basin. A total of 352 km of high-resolution seismic data was collected along 17 lines, with 336 km processed as full stack data. An additional 530.6 km of water column geochemical data were also gathered, with data quality reported as good.

Use Cases

• Map subsurface geological structures based on 352 km of high-resolution seismic lines.
• Analyze hydrocarbon seeps or fluid migration based on 530.6 km of water column geochemical data.
• Validate or integrate regional geological models based on data from 17 specific survey lines.
• Assess data acquisition and processing techniques for vintage seismic surveys based on the operations report.

Strengths

• 352 km of high-resolution seismic data provides substantial spatial coverage for the survey area.
• 530.6 km of complementary water column geochemical data offers a multi-parameter geophysical dataset.
• Data quality is explicitly noted as 'good' in the original operations report.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Data is from a specific 5-day period in 1990; temporal coverage is limited.
• Row count and detailed data structure are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
