Petroleum Source Rock and Fluids Atlas - Onshore And Offshore WFS

The Source Rock and Fluids Atlas delivery and publication services provide up-to-date information on petroleum (organic) geochemical and geological data from Geoscience Australia's Organic Geochemistry Database (ORGCHEM). The sample data provides the spatial distribution of petroleum source rocks and their derived fluids (natural gas and crude oil) from boreholes and field sites in onshore and offshore Australian basins. The services provide characterisation of source rocks through the visualisation of Pyrolysis, Organic Petrology (Maceral Groups, Maceral Reflectance) and Organoclast Maturity data.  The services also provide molecular and isotopic characterisation of source rocks and petroleum through the visualisation of Bulk, Whole Oil GC, Gas, Compound-Specific Isotopic Analyses (CSIA) and Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GCMS) data tables. Interpretation of these data enables the characterisation of petroleum source rocks and identification of their derived petroleum fluids that comprise two key elements of petroleum systems analysis. The composition of petroleum determines whether or not it can be an economic commodity and if other processes (e.g. CO2 removal and sequestration; cryogenic liquefaction of LNG) are required for development.

Draft Hazard-Design Factor (Z) Maps and Elastic Design Spectrum for the 2026 Amendment to the AS 1170.4-2024

This paper presents the draft design-hazard factor (<em>Z</em>) maps developed for the 2025 amendment to the Australian Standard <em>Structural Design Actions: Earthquake Actions in Australia</em>, <em>AS 1170.4:2024</em>. The peak ground acceleration (PGA) hazard map for an annual exceedance probability (AEP) of 1/1,500 from the 2023 National Seismic Hazard Assessment of Australia was used as the basis for the updated design-hazard maps. This map was subsequently adjusted through two primary approaches, such that: 1) a factor of 2/3 was applied to the PGA map to adjust the 1/1,500 AEP hazard such that the overall design values are consistent with the 1/500 AEP requirements specified in the National Construction Code; and 2) an adjustment was applied to compensate for differences between the AS 1170.4:2024 spectral shape factors, <em>Ch</em>(<em>T</em>), and the normalised probabilistic uniform-hazard spectrum (UHS) averaged over all Australian localities at a vibratory period of <em>T</em> = 0.5 s. The resulting hazard grid was contoured at 0.08 and 0.10 g and these irregular contours were subsequently fitted using regular geometries. Zones enveloped by these geometries were assigned a <em>Z</em> factor of 0.10 g (Zone 2) and 0.12 g (Zone 3), respectively. Consistent with the AS 1170.4:2007 (Amt 2, 2018), a floor <em>Z</em> factor of 0.08 g (Zone 1) is applied to the remainder of the Australian continental landmass. Spectral shape factors for<em> </em>periods between 0.0-0.3 s are also reduced from 2.94 to 2.5 (on Site Class Be) to reduce the short-period demand and to be more consistent with the average probabilistic UHS. The resulting <em>Z</em> values anchor the adjusted elastic design spectrum at <em>T</em> = 0.0 s and are intended to provide protection to structures from earthquake loading, with a primary focus on collapse prevention, for a notional AEP of 1/500.

Prepared for the Australian Earthquake Engineering Society National Conference, 20-22 November 2025.

Combined Organic-Inorganic Tie WFS

This web feature service delivers geochemical data for samples analysed both for inorganic and organic geochemistry. Analytical data are sourced from Geoscience Australia's Inorganic Geochemistry Database (OZCHEM) and Organic Geochemistry Database (ORGCHEM), respectively. The data are joined on a unique sample number. Inorganic geochemical data cover the majority of the periodic table, with metadata on analytical methods and detection limits. Organic geochemical data include results of pyrolysis, derivative calculated values, and, where available, isotopic composition of carbonates (D13C) and isotopic composition of rock nitrogen (D15N). Further, there are provisions for delivery of isotopic data for kerogen (H, C, N) and oxygen (O) for carbonates. Where available, sample descriptions include stratigraphic unit names and ages, and lithology. Location information includes coordinates of the sampled feature (eg, borehole), coordinates of the sample and sample depth. Interpretation of the combined inorganic and organic geochemistry for organic-rich shales will facilitate comprehensive characterisation of hydrocarbons source rocks and mineral commodities source and trap environments. All are achieved within the frameworks of petroleum and mineral systems analysis. The initial data delivered by this service include 1785 samples from 35 boreholes from 14 geological provinces, including recently released data for 442 samples from the South Nicholson National Drilling Initiative Carrara 1 stratigraphic drill hole (Butcher et al., 2021; Carson et al., 2021). Many sampled boreholes are located within the polygon of the Exploring for the Future Barkly-Isa-Georgetown project. This dataset will be updated periodically as more data become available.

Australia's Land Borders MapServer

Australia's Land Borders is a product within the Foundation Spatial Data Framework (FSDF) suite of datasets. It is endorsed by the ANZLIC – the Spatial Information Council and the Intergovernmental Committee on Surveying and Mapping (ICSM) as the nationally consistent representation of the land borders as published by the Australian states and territories. It is topologically correct in relation to published jurisdictional land borders and the Geocoded National Address File (G-NAF).

The purpose of this product is to provide: (i) a building block which enables development of other national datasets; (ii) integration with other geospatial frameworks in support of data analysis; and (iii) visualisation of these borders as cartographic depiction on a map. Although this service depicts land borders, it is not nor does it suggests to be a legal definition of these borders. Therefore it cannot and must not be used for those use-cases pertaining to legal context.

Analysis of the AUSPOS v3.0 Positioning Service after Alignment to ITRF2020

AUSPOS is an openly available online Global Positioning System (GPS) data processing service provided by Geoscience Australia and is recommended by the Intergovernmental Committee on Surveying and Mapping (ICSM) for control surveys by Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) in the Australian region as a method for providing connection to the Geocentric Datum of Australia 2020 (GDA2020). A new and improved global reference frame, the International Terrestrial Reference Frame 2020 (ITRF2020), was released in April 2022 by the International Earth Rotation and Reference Systems Service (IERS), which was followed by the International GNSS Service (IGS) realisation, using modernised analysis standards and processing strategies, called IGS20. This paper outlines the adoption of ITRF2020/IGS20 for the AUSPOS processing service, which includes the introduction of a two-step transformation strategy to provide access to the national datum, GDA2020. The paper also provides relevant analysis and validation of the new AUSPOS system’s (v3.0) ability to produce consistent GDA2020 coordinates when compared to those produced by the previous AUSPOS system (v2.4 - aligned to ITRF2014) with observed differences of −0.2±6<i>mm</i>, −0.2±4<i>mm</i> and−0.3±21<i>mm</i> in Easting, Northing and Height components, respectively. Geoscience Australia is committed to being Australia’s trusted provider of analytic products and services, by enhancing the accuracy and reliability of positioning within Australia.

Exploring for the Future - Source rock geochemistry of Northern Australia: Data release 1: Total organic carbon (TOC) and Rock-Eval pyrolysis of samples from the South Nicholson Basin and Isa Superbasin, Queensland

In the South Nicholson region of Queensland and the Northern Territory, the Paleoproterozoic Isa Superbasin and the Mesoproterozoic South Nicholson Basin have the potential to host both conventional and unconventional petroleum systems (Gorton &amp; Troup, 2018). The region remains poorly explored however with only 19 petroleum wells drilled in total (Carr et al., 2016). Although nine stratigraphic intervals are described as potential source rocks, data coverage is extremely limited and a large proportion of the available data is old and of poor quality. To more comprehensively characterise these organic rich source rocks, higher resolution coverages of pre-competitive geochemical data is required (Jarrett et al. 2018). 

This report contains the total organic carbon (TOC) content and Rock-Eval pyrolysis data of 674 samples selected from twelve drill cores housed in the Geological Survey of Queensland’s Brisbane core repository including Amoco DDH 83-1, Amoco DDH 83-2, Amoco DDH 83-3, Amoco DDH 83-4, Argyle Creek 1, Armraynald 1, Burketown 1, Desert Creek 1, Egilabria 1, Egilabria 2 DW1, Egilabria 4, Morstone 1, MORSTONE DDH1. This data was generated at the Isotope and Organic Geochemistry Laboratory at Geoscience Australia as part of the Exploring for the Future program.
