Evidence for an early, marine-sourced oil charge in the Bayu gas-condensate field, Timor Sea

Evidence for an early, marine-sourced oil charge in the Bayu gas-condensate field, Timor Sea

Publication Name: The Sedimentary Basins of WA
Authors: S.C. George, M. Lisk, P.J. Eadington & R.A. Quezada
Reference Type: Book Section
Date Published: December 2002

 

Abstract:

The distribution of oil-bearing fluid inclusions (FI) in Jurassic reservoir sandstones from Bayu 1 (Northern Bonaparte Basin, Timor Sea) is consistent with the presence of a palaeo-oil column of at least 20 m height, beneath a 46-53 m thick palaeo-ga...

Neogene tectonic and structural evolution of the Timor Sea region, NW Australia

Neogene tectonic and structural evolution of the Timor Sea region, NW Australia

Publication Name: The Sedimentary Basins of WA
Authors: M. Keep, M. Clough & L. Langhi
Reference Type: Book Section
Date Published: December 2002

 

Abstract:

Neogene deformation styles in the Timor Sea vary from flexure-dominated in the NE to transtension-dominated towards the SW. Neogene fanlts generally preserve overall normal displacement despite sometimes complex reactivation histories. Controls on fa...

Reference Type: Book Section
Date Published: December 2002

 

Abstract:

A new fill-spill model has been produced for the Skua Oil Field that challenges the importance of Mio-Pliocene fault reactivation as the principal control on trap integrity. Integration of contemporary and palaeo-fluid-flow indicators within a 3D str...

Evaluating Trap Integrity in the Vulcan Sub-basin, Timor Sea, Australia, using Integrated Remote-sensing Geochemical Technologies

Evaluating Trap Integrity in the Vulcan Sub-basin, Timor Sea, Australia, using Integrated Remote-sensing Geochemical Technologies

Publication Name: The Sedimentary Basins of WA
Authors: G. W. O'Brien, P. Quaife, R. Cowley, M. Morse, D. Wilson, M. Fellows and M. Lisk
Reference Type: Book Section
Date Published: December 1998

 

Abstract:

Poor trap integrity, which relates to Mio-Piiocene continental convergence and fault reactivation, is the principal exploration uncertainty within Australia's Timor Sea. In this area, the style of the Neogene structural reactivation is a direct funct...

Inferring Kerogen Kinetics for Exploration in the Timor Sea Region

Inferring Kerogen Kinetics for Exploration in the Timor Sea Region

Publication Name: The Sedimentary Basins of WA
Authors: David C. Lowry
Reference Type: Book Section
Date Published: December 1998

 

Abstract:

Explorationists commonly model hydrocarbon generation from a source rock by assuming that the kerogen can be characterised as Type I, II or III, and accepting the default kinetic parameters built into modelling programs. This can lead to errors and m...

Mechanisms of Dynamic Seal Failure in the Timor Sea and Central North Sea Basins

Mechanisms of Dynamic Seal Failure in the Timor Sea and Central North Sea Basins

Publication Name: The Sedimentary Basins of WA
Authors: Richard R. Hillis
Reference Type: Book Section
Date Published: December 1998

 

Abstract:

The seals to hydrocarbon reservoirs in the Timor Sea and central North Sea often fail, despite being thick shales that should not be prone to capillary leakage. It is likely that fracturing of these seals, herein termed dynamic seal failure, contribu...

Authors: David A. Castillo, Richard R. Hillis, Keven Asquith and Mike Fischer
Reference Type: Book Section
Date Published: December 1998

 

Abstract:

A regional in situ stress analysis based on data collected in over thirty wells drilled in the Zone of Cooperation (ZOCA) 91-01, 91-12, 91-13, 95-16 and AC/PS have been used to better understand the mechanisms responsible for fault seal failure in th...

Publication Name: The Sedimentary Basins of WA
Authors: Robert S. Nicoll and Clinton B. Foster
Reference Type: Book Section
Date Published: December 1998

 

Abstract:

Studies of the relationships between conodont faunas and spore-pollen and dinocyst palynofloras from the subsurface of basins of the Western Australian margin have revised the hard links between Australian palynomorph zones and the classic stage term...
