Abstract:
The Greater Northern Australia–New Guinea Super Gas Province lies on the Northern Australian continental margin, within which over 230 Tcf gas and 7.2 billion bbls oil have been discovered. The province extends from the Northern Carnarvon Basin, through the Browse Basin into the Bonaparte Basin, and along the southern edge of the New Guinea Fold Belt. This paper explores the reasons why gas is the dominant hydrocarbon and identifies ‘sweet spots’ for oil.
