Triassic petroleum systems on the central North West Shelf – Learnings from the Greater Ph

An extended abstract from the Australasian Exploration Geoscience Conference 2019 presents a multi-disciplinary study of Triassic petroleum systems on Australia's central North West Shelf. The study integrates structural architecture, sequence stratigraphy, palaeogeography, and geochemistry to map source rock distributions across the Bedout, Beagle, and Rowley sub-basins. It was published by the Australian Ocean Data Network and last updated on 2026-04-10.

Use Cases

• Mapping hydrocarbon source rock distribution based on integrated structural and stratigraphic analysis mentioned in the description
• Identifying distinct petroleum systems based on biomarker signatures and palaeogeographic maps described in the study
• Assessing lateral facies variation and reservoir potential in Triassic sequences across multiple sub-basins as discussed in the abstract

Strengths

• Study integrates multiple geoscience disciplines: structural architecture, sequence stratigraphy, palaeogeography, and geochemistry
• Analysis covers three sub-basins: Bedout, Beagle, and Rowley on the central North West Shelf
• Identifies a new petroleum system with a unique mixed land-plant and algal biomarker signature in the Bedout Sub-basin

Limitations

• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
