Abstract:
The Browse Basin hosts considerable gas and condensate resources, including the Ichthys and Prelude fields that are being developed for liquefied natural gas (LNG) production. Oil discoveries are sub-economic. This multi disciplinary study integrating sequence stratigraphy, palaeogeography and geochemical data has mapped the spatial and temporal distribution of Jurassic to earliest Cretaceous source rocks. This study allows a better understanding of the source rocks contribution to the known hydrocarbon accumulations and charge history in the basin, including in underexplored areas.
