PESA Sedimentology and Stratigraphy Interest Group meeting 

22nd of March, 1 – 4pm Carlisle Core Library

4pm Balmoral Hotel, Victoria Park

Cores from the Mungaroo

The Mungaroo Formation gas reserves have underpinned the WA gas export industry for decades and will for many more. The Mungaroo Formation is a Norian mega delta grading from fluvial to delta front both vertically and laterally. Depofacies include fluvial channel fill, distributary channel fill, paleosols, crevasse splays, flood plain lacustrine, mouth bar, interdistributary bay, shoreface, delta front and offshore transition. Cores have been chosen to cover the early TR20 through to TR27 inboard at Goodwyn to display the vertical variability in the system and the outboard system displayed in Kentish Knock-1. Come and review the facies variations, the diagenetic variability and the controls on production that are evident in the core. See if you can identify the climatic indicators in this system as well.

Cores cover vertical age distribution for vertical variability plus an outboard distal core for lateral variation:

• Goodwyn-5,
• Gooodwyn-6,
• Yodel-2,
• Kentish Knock-1

Organisers: Rob Seggie and Darren Ferdinando
