Survey 97 : Operations Report for the Joint BMR/Woodside Petroleum High Resolution Seismic

The Dampier Sub-Basin offshore Australia was surveyed from October 24 to 28, 1990. A joint program between BMR and Woodside Petroleum collected 352 km of high-resolution seismic data across 17 lines and 530.6 km of water column geochemical data. The report notes that data quality appears to be good.

Use Cases

• Map subsurface geological structures based on 352 km of high-resolution seismic lines.
• Analyze hydrocarbon seeps and fluid migration based on 530.6 km of water column geochemical data.
• Model basin stratigraphy and resource potential based on the 17 agreed survey lines.
• Validate seismic acquisition and processing techniques based on the reported data quality.

Strengths

• 352 km of high-resolution seismic data provides detailed subsurface coverage.
• 530.6 km of complementary water column geochemical data supports integrated analysis.
• The operational report specifies exact dates and times for data acquisition.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Data is from a single survey in 1990; temporal and technological context should be considered.
