Abstract:
The Exmouth Sub-basin forms part of the intra-cratonic rift system of the Northern Carnarvon Basin, Australia. It has undergone a complex tectonic history with multiple phases of uplift, erosion, inversion, and regional tilting. Hydrocarbon exploration has resulted in discovering a variety of oil and gas accumulations; however, the distribution of hydrocarbons and charge from different petroleum systems is still poorly understood. The new basin-wide, long-offset, broadband Exmouth 3D Multiclient seismic data (MC3D) allowed for an updated understanding of the structural and depositional evolution.
