Abstract:
A regional assessment of the Toolebuc Formation has been conducted to evaluate its potential as a shale oil target. This formation shares many characteristics with successful shale oil plays located in the United States of America. This study has focused on mapping key parameters for the formation, including depth, thickness, lithology, mineralogy, maturity (Rvmax and Tmax), total organic carbon (TOC) and mud gas compositions by reviewing existing data held by the Queensland Department of Natural Resources and Mines and integrating with newly acquired exploration and analytical data.
