2007 Release of Offshore Petroleum Exploration AreasThe 2007 Offshore Petroleum Exploration Acreage release comprises 34 areas, located across six basins. The release areas range from frontier to mature status and offer opportunities for exploration companies of all sizes.
Comprehensive acreage release information packs can be obtained (free of charge) by emailing contact details to: [email protected]
Areas W07-16 and W07-17
• Australia’s premier hydrocarbon province.
• Frontier blocks in a range of water depths (less than 200 m to approx 800 m).
• Near to giant producing fi elds and near existing infrastructure and an expanding gas market.
• Traditional Triassic Mungaroo fault block plays, as at Goodwyn.
• Special Notices apply, refer to Guidance Notes.

NORTHERN EXMOUTH PLATEAU PETROLEUM PLAY ELEMENTS
Source Locker Shale Formation equivalents (Early Triassic) and Mungaroo Formation equivalents (Middle to Late Triassic).
Reservoir Brigadier Formation (Late Triassic to Early Jurassic), the Mungaroo Formation (Late Triassic) and Barrow Group (Early Cretaceous).
Seal Regional seals provided by Locker Shale (Early Triassic), Cossigny Member of the Mungaroo Formation (Middle Triassic) and Forestier Claystone and Muderong Shale (Early Cretaceous). Mungaroo Formation (Triassic) provides an intraformational seal.
Traps Tilted fault blocks, horsts, fault roll-over structures, drape anticlines and stratigraphic pinch-outs.
Infrastructure and Markets
Producing oil accumulations at Lambert, Hermes, Mutineer/Norfolk and Exeter lie no more than 10km to the east of Area W07-17. North Rankin/Perseus gas accumulation extends to within 10km of the southern edge of Area W07-17.
