Leaf biomass – a new paradigm for sourcing the terrestrial oils of Taranaki Basin

Publication Name: PESA's Eastern Australasian Basin Symposium II
Authors: R. Sykes, L.R. Snowdon and P.E. Johansen
Reference Type: Book Section
Date Published: December 2004

 

Abstract:

Late Cretaceous-Eocene coal measures have sourced waxy, paraffinic crude oils in the otherwise gas-rich Taranaki Basin, but incomplete understanding of organofacies controls on the generation and expulsion of non-volatile oil has hindered prediction ...

Late Cretaceous-Eocene basin evolution in the SW Pacific from integrated geology; marine geophysics, and global mantle convection models

Late Cretaceous-Eocene basin evolution in the SW Pacific from integrated geology; marine geophysics, and global mantle convection models

Publication Name: PESA's Eastern Australasian Basin Symposium II
Authors: R. Sutherland, P. King and R. Herzer
Reference Type: Book Section
Date Published: December 2004

 

Abstract:

There are two significant events during the evolution of the South Pacific since 100 Ma that allow its history to be subdivided. The first event was the Late Cretaceous final fragmentation of Gondwana. Seafloor magnetic anomalies show that oceanic se...

Re-Evaluating Thermal History Models for the Taranaki Basin, New Zealand Using Apatite Fission Track and (U-Th)/He Data From Well Sections

Publication Name: Eastern Australian Basins Symposium 2001
Authors: P.V. Crowhurst, P.F. Green and P.J.J. Kamp
Reference Type: Magazine Article
Date Published: November 2001

 

Abstract:

Reliable reconstruction of thermal histories in sedimentary basins is a key aspect of reducing exploration risk, e.g. In defining the timing of hydrocarbon generation in source kitchens and identifying tectonic episodes which may have caused disrupti...

Miocene Turbidite Reservoir Systems in the Taranaki Basin, New Zealand: Established Plays and Analogues for Deep-Water Exploration

Publication Name: Eastern Australian Basins Symposium 2001
Authors: P.R. King and G.H. Browne
Reference Type: Magazine Article
Date Published: November 2001

 

Abstract:

Two turbidite formations, Moki and Mount Messenger, represent discrete progradational sandy pulses in an otherwise mud-dominated regressive Miocene succession in the Taranaki Basin, New Zealand. The fairways for these formations overlap, with best de...

Geophysical Definition of the Kapuni Coastal Facies of the Western Taranaki Basin, New Zealand

Publication Name: Eastern Australian Basins Symposium 2001
Authors: E. Matthews and C. Lewis
Reference Type: Magazine Article
Date Published: November 2001

 

Abstract:

Coastal sand bodies within the Eocene-Paleocene Kapuni Group are a prime target for exploration in the Taranaki Basin. While regional amplitude mapping can be used to map the major facies belts, more detailed local mapping is needed to identify indiv...
