Description
Geoscience Australia data assesses the unconventional shale gas and oil resource potential of the Georgina Basin. The dataset includes stratigraphy, tectonic history, petrography, geochemistry, and petroleum systems modeling, with a focus on Middle Cambrian source rocks. It was last updated on 2026-04-20.
Use Cases
Modeling petroleum systems based on described stratigraphy and tectonic history.
Assessing source rock richness and maturity based on Rock Eval, TOC, and HI data.
Characterizing hydrocarbon migration and alteration based on geochemical signatures like isotopic depletion and biomarker abundance.
Identifying basin analogues for resource assessment in data-poor regions.
Strengths
Includes specific geochemical measurements, such as TOC up to 15.5% and HI up to 500 mg hydrocarbons/g TOC.
Covers a defined geographic area of approximately 325,000 sq. km in the Georgina Basin.
Assessment methodology is based on USGS statistically derived estimates and basin analogues.
Limitations
Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
Primary file formats are PDF and HTML, which may require extraction for computational analysis.
