Ultraviolet Fluorescence Surface Maps for 60 Western Australian Offshore Oils

Geoscience Australia's Petroleum and Marine Division produced ultraviolet fluorescence surface maps for 60 offshore Western Australian oils. This dataset supports correlating sea surface hydrocarbon anomalies detected by Airborne Laser Fluorosensor surveys with specific oil sources.

Use Cases

• Correlate Airborne Laser Fluorosensor survey anomalies with specific fluorescence signatures from the 60 oil maps
• Characterize hydrocarbon seep types by analyzing the spectral patterns in the ultraviolet fluorescence surface maps
• Integrate fluorescence map data with supplementary geological and geochemical information for source rock analysis

Strengths

• Focuses on 60 distinct offshore oil samples from Western Australia
• Data produced by a national geological survey (Geoscience Australia) for a dedicated multi-client study
• Designed to integrate with supplementary geological, spectroscopic, and geochemical information

Limitations

• Core data format and structure (e.g., columns, rows) are not specified in the available metadata
• Sample data is unavailable, preventing assessment of data granularity or usability without download
• Primary documentation is a report, potentially requiring manual extraction of numerical or image data
