Abstract:
Projects conducted by the Northern Territory Geological Survey over the last several years have been aimed at improved understanding of the stratigraphy, structure and architecture of the Northern Territory portion of the Amadeus Basin. Of particular note are new insights into the Neoproterozoic stratigraphy and regional-scale structural geology of the basin. Stratigraphic nomenclature has recently been revised by the Northern Territory Geological Survey for Tonian, Cryogenian and Ediacaran strata of the Northern Territory portion of the basin. Additionally, a regional-scale structural and interpreted geology study of the western part of the Northern Territory Amadeus Basin has been completed. Additional stratigraphic and structural studies are planned for the eastern part of the basin. Results from these projects are relevant for evaluation of future Amadeus Basin activities including petroleum exploration, helium and hydrogen exploration, and CO2 sequestration.
