Abstract:
The Canning Basin in Western Australia is classified as a frontier basin. Of the 345 wells drilled onshore, only eight have intercepted small commercial hydrocarbon deposits. The offshore Canning Basin is one of the world’s most underexplored Paleozoic basins with six wells in a 75,000 km2 area with no commercial oil deposits discovered. To overcome the limited stratigraphic data from offshore wells, the well-constrained onshore stratigraphy has been mapped offshore through the development of a seamless onshore/offshore stratigraphic model.
