Catch up on all the highlights of 2024 from across the Australian upstream industry in this session which is an annual conference staple.

The Geological Survey of Western Australia (GSWA) will be soon releasing a report on seismic mapping of the southern Canning Basin authored by Y. Zhan and a plate showing seismic interpretation of the Perth Basin section of three new deep-crustal seismic lines which were acquired by GSWA in 2023-24 interpreted by C. Thomas.

The southeastern Canning Basin represents one of the least explored sedimentary regions in onshore Australia, largely due to its remoteness and challenging access conditions. Recent acquisition of high-resolution seismic (2018–2019), airborne gravity (2018), and electromagnetic datasets (2019–2020) has significantly…
