Evidence of Lower Triassic Reservoirs with Possible Hydrocarbon Charge in the Southern Bonaparte Basin

Evidence of Lower Triassic Reservoirs with Possible Hydrocarbon Charge in the Southern Bonaparte Basin

Publication Name: The Sedimentary Basins of WA
Authors: John D. Gorter, Victor Ziolkowski and Steward W. Bayford
Reference Type: Book Section
Date Published: December 1998

 

Abstract:

A sandstone within the Lower Triassic Mt Goodwin Formation in wells in the southern Bonaparte Basin is commonly associated with a mappable seismic reflector. Several seismic profiles show brightening of this event, and direct hydrocarbon indicators s...

Continuous Oil Pools and Self-sourcing Reservoirs: International Examples and Australian Possibilities

Continuous Oil Pools and Self-sourcing Reservoirs: International Examples and Australian Possibilities

Publication Name: The Sedimentary Basins of WA
Authors: John Scott
Reference Type: Book Section
Date Published: December 1998

 

Abstract:

Continuous oil pools form in source rocks where kerogen has been converted to oil but has not been completely expelled. Self-sourcing reservoirs occur where a continuous oil pool is sufficiently fractured to provide permeability and allow production ...

Aromatic Hydrocarbons as Indicators of Biodegredation in North Western Australian Reservoirs

Publication Name: The Sedimentary Basins of WA
Authors: S. J. Fisher, R. Alexander, R. I. Kagi and G. A. Oliver
Reference Type: Book Section
Date Published: December 1998

 

Abstract:

The weathering of condensate released into intertidal coastal sediments in north Western Australia was studied by analysing sediment samples collected on eleven occasions over a three-year period. Chemical analysis of the saturated and aromatic hydro...
