Abstract:
The plays of the Bowen and Surat basins consist of conventional structural plays along major regional structures and depositional platforms, most of which have some stratigraphic component. These can be subdivided into three main regions: the eastern and western flanks of the Taroom Trough, and the Denison Trough. Coal seam gas is found in fairway zones within the Permian coals of the Bowen Basin, which can be subdivided into two main fairways: structurally associated plays in the southern Bowen Basin, and a tighter play in the northern Bowen Basin.
