Abstract:
A source rock study of the Jurassic and Cretaceous rocks in the central Eromanga Basin region was carried out as part of an investigation of the hydrocarbon prospectivity of the Eromanga and underlying basins. Material from 41 petroleum exploration wells was used to determine the quantity, quality, and maturity of potential source rocks across the study area. This paper presents the results of the organic geochemical study and head-space gas analysis.
