Abstract:
Several stratigraphic traps have been discovered within the Permian-aged Patchawarra Formation on the western flank of the Cooper Basin. These traps contain gas within fluvial sandstones deposited within a sequence of mixed clastic and coal beds. A subset of seismic and well data, from a 3D seismic area of 866km2 containing 27 wells, is used to show basic interpretation techniques to define existing and potential stratigraphic traps. A practical correlation between seismic scale reflectivity and well log data allows the interpretation of two component packages within the Patchawarra Formation.
