PETROLEUM EXPLORATION AREAS

DATA – AREAS NT07-3 TO NT07-5 AND W07-4

PETREL SUB-BASIN, BONAPARTE BASIN Public access to exploration data in Australia, including digital seismic tapes, well reports and core and cuttings samples is a result of legislation that initially subsidised exploration in return for lodgement and public availability of the data. When the subsidy was removed the requirement that data be lodged with government and made available for future exploration continued. These open-file reports, data and down-hole samples are available from Geoscience Australia (GA), Canberra and the Northern Territory Department of Primary Industries, Fisheries and Mines (DPIFM), Darwin. Geoscience Australia, Australia's national geoscientific information agency, also undertakes regional basin studies, assessments of hydrocarbon resources and provides geoscientific data and reports in support of acreage release rounds. Geoscience Australia is currently establishing a Data Room where specific seismic and well data relevant to current acreage release rounds can be viewed. Appointments to visit this Data Room or to meet with Geoscience Australia officers can be made via the Geoscience Australia Acreage Release webpage http://www.ga.gov.au/oceans/ss_Acreage.jsp Packages of specific seismic data relevant to the 2007 acreage release area are available in either Geoquest, Kingdom or Landmark format. Digital Well Completion Reports and digital Well Logs (in original format) for specific wells are also available in packages relevant to the 2007 acreage release areas. These data can be ordered through the Geophysical and Geological Data Repository, phone 61 (0)2 6249 9222, e-mail [email protected] Available data relevant to the 2007 release areas in the Petrel Sub-basin, Bonaparte Basin are listed below.

OTHER DIGITAL DATA AMSIS The Australian Marine Spatial Information System (AMSIS), a recent release from Geoscience Australia, is an on-line mapping and decision support tool that presents a vast array of Commonwealth interests in Australia’s marine jurisdiction. With the cooperation of other Government and private sector agencies, this system integrates administrative boundary information including petroleum leases with scientific data against other background data such as bathymetry. AMSIS is easy to use and provides access to data via a web browser for those interested the marine environment without the need for specialised software or mapping skills. AMSIS not only displays ‘what’s out there’, but also allows users to query the information, view metadata, and conduct more advanced functions such as return the nearest distance from a point to a nominated boundary. AMSIS can be found on the web at: www.ga.gov.au/amsis

AUSTRALIAN GEOLOGICAL PROVINCES DATABASE

The Australian Geological Provinces Database provides interpretive data on Australia’s sedimentary, igneous, metallogenic, structural and metamorphic provinces. The database has been jointly developed and populated by the Onshore Energy and Minerals Division of Geoscience Australia, which is concentrating on onshore geological provinces, and the Petroleum and Marine Division, which is capturing data for offshore sedimentary basins. The database provides the mapped extent of Australia’s geological provinces, and includes attributes such as size, water depth, tectonic setting, age, sediment thickness, main rock types, depositional environments, main resources, key references, and relations to other geological provinces. It also includes an overview of the geology, exploration status, and petroleum system elements of each province. The Australian Geological Provinces Database is available online. Access to the database is provided through the Geoscience Australia website using an interactive mapping system, at www.ga.gov.au/oracle/provinces/ The interface allows users to view and select provinces of interest based on their key attributes, and to add key map layers (exploration data, surface geology, images, bathymetry). Database extracts are provided as an html report, and include links to key images (structural element maps, regional cross-sections, stratigraphic and petroleum system charts). This database interface provides explorers with basic geological information on all offshore sedimentary basins, and many of their component sub-basins, along Australia’s continental margin.


NATIONAL PETROLUEM WELLS DATABASE Geoscience Australia's geological databases provide detailed open file header data, biostratigraphic data, organic geochemical data, reservoir and facies data, interpreted depositional environment information and directional survey data. These data have been extracted from open file Well Completion Reports or are the results of Geoscience Australia studies. These data can be accessed via the following paths:

Download data for wells relevant to the 2007 Acreage Release areas directly from Geoscience Australia’s databases. http://www.ga.gov.au/oracle/apcrc/ar_list.jsp
