Abstract:
In the period up to the mid 1990s, a substantial amount of petroleum exploration was carried out in the Surat-Bowen Basin of southeast Queensland, but most of the drilling programs focussed on Triassic and Jurassic sandstone objectives. Permian-specific exploration was, in the main, umewarding and the Tinowon play had a reputation for being elusive and economically marginal.
