A 2019 study mapping Triassic petroleum systems on Australia's North West Shelf. The multi-disciplinary research integrates structural architecture, sequence stratigraphy, palaeogeography and geochemistry to map source rock distributions. The extended abstract was presented at the Australasian Exploration Geoscience Conference (AECG) 2019.
Use Cases
- Mapping hydrocarbon generation potential based on Upper Triassic geochemical analyses mentioned in the description
- Analyzing lateral facies variation based on the mapped distribution of the Triassic succession
- Identifying new petroleum systems based on the mixed land-plant and algal biomarker signature described
- Comparing palaeogeographic environments based on the described deltaic, marine, and carbonate systems
Strengths
- The study integrates multiple disciplines: structural architecture, sequence stratigraphy, palaeogeography and geochemistry.
- It maps spatial and temporal distributions across three sub-basins: Bedout, Beagle, and Rowley.
- It identifies a unique oil signature sourced and reservoired within Lower‒Middle Triassic sequences at Phoenix South 1.
Limitations
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
- The data files are PDF and DOCX formats, which may require extraction for structured analysis.
