Use of aromatic compound distributions to evaluate organic maturity of the Proterozoic middle Velkerri Formation, McArthur Basin, Australia

Use of aromatic compound distributions to evaluate organic maturity of the Proterozoic middle Velkerri Formation, McArthur Basin, Australia

Publication Name: The Sedimentary Basins of WA
Authors: S.C. George & M. Ahmed
Reference Type: Book Section
Date Published: December 2002

 

Abstract:

The middle Velkerri Member is a rich Proterowic source rock in the McArthur Basin. A decrease in hydrogen index from > 500 mg pyrolysate/g TOC in shallow immature sediments to around 150 mg/g in deeper sediments has been suggested to coincide with th...

Application of Combined Fluorescence and Reflectance (CFR) analysis to thermal maturity assessment in the Barrow and Dampier sub-basins

Application of Combined Fluorescence and Reflectance (CFR) analysis to thermal maturity assessment in the Barrow and Dampier sub-basins

Publication Name: The Sedimentary Basins of WA
Authors: A.R. Kaiko
Reference Type: Book Section
Date Published: December 2002

 

Abstract:

Previous application of systematic thermal modelling techniques has identified large areas within the Barrow and Dampier sub-basins that yield measured vitrinite reflectance data that significantly underestimates the maturity of the region. As well a...

Character, Maturity and Distribution of Potential Cretaceous Oil Source Rocks in the Ceduna Sub-Basin, Bight Basin, Great Australian Bight

Character, Maturity and Distribution of Potential Cretaceous Oil Source Rocks in the Ceduna Sub-Basin, Bight Basin, Great Australian Bight

Publication Name: Eastern Australian Basins Symposium 2001
Authors: H.I.M. Struckmeyer, J.M. Totterdell, J.E. Blevin, G.A. Logan, C.J. Boreham, I. Deighton, A.A. Krassay and M.T. Bradshaw
Reference Type: Magazine Article
Date Published: November 2001

 

Abstract:

The Ceduna Sub-basin of the Bight Basin is a frontier region containing only one petroleum exploration well. Therefore, our assessment of the distribution of potential source rocks in the area is based on an understanding of the regional sequence str...

Lower Palaeozoic Correlations and Thermal Maturity, Carnarvon Basin, WA

Publication Name: The Sedimentary Basins of WA
Authors: Arthur J. Mory, Robert S. Nicoll and John D. Gorter
Reference Type: Book Section
Date Published: December 1998

 

Abstract:

Pre-Middle Devonian conodonts recovered from ten wells and drillholes in the Carnarvon Basin provide improved age control for, and are the basis for a revision of, the Silurian stratigraphy and depositional history in the basin: The lithologically di...

Publication Name: The Cooper & Eromanga Basins Australia
Authors: J.W. Hunt, R.S. Heath, and P.F. McKenzie
Reference Type: Book Section
Date Published: June 1989

 

Abstract:

The Permo-Triassic Cooper Basin is Australia's major onshore hydrocarbon province. Hydrocarbons discovered in the Basin to date comprise mainly gas (approximately 6 TCF recoverable) although one large oil pool, in the Tirrawarra Sandstone of the Tirr...

Source Maturity, Overpressures and Production, North West Shelf, Australia

Source Maturity, Overpressures and Production, North West Shelf, Australia

Publication Name: The North West Shelf Australia
Authors: E.L. Horstman
Reference Type: Book Section
Date Published: July 1988

 

Abstract:

Empirically, oil and gas production on the North West Shelf of Australia is related to the presence of overpressured section. In turn overpressure can be related to hydrocarbon generation. Comparison of the depth of the oil window and the top of the ...
