Supporting Australia's geothermal industry through provision of precompetitive geoscience data : Geoscience Australia's role

Australia's emergent geothermal energy industry is growing rapidly. So far, 29 companies have applied for geothermal exploration licenses. The majority of these companies are prospecting for Hot Rock geothermal resources for electricity generation, with some companies targeting hydrothermal resources. The Hot Rock model in the Australian context comprises a thick sequence (&gt;3km) of low-thermal conductivity sediments overlying deeper high-heat-producing granites. Until now, the key dataset available to industry to guide their geothermal exploration has been a map of crustal temperature at 5km depth1. Compiled from temperature measurements made in 5,722 petroleum wells across Australia, the map indicates a vast geothermal resource.  Additional national-scale geothermal datasets are either incomplete, not publicly accessible, or have not been collected.  
In August 2006, the Australian Government announced an Energy Security Initiative. It provides $58.9M to Geoscience Australia (the national geoscience and spatial information agency) over five years for an Onshore Energy Security Program (OESP). The OESP aims to better understand Australia's geological potential for onshore energy resources such as petroleum, uranium and geothermal, and includes the acquisition of new seismic, radiometric, heat-flow, magneto-telluric, gravity, magnetic, geochemical and drill-hole data. Providing new data will help attract company exploration in new areas by enhancing the chances of discovery and reducing the risks to investors. Established as part of the OESP, a new Geothermal Energy Project will generate precompetitive geoscientific information for geothermal explorers through two major activities: creating maps of heat distribution across Australia, and developing a geothermal information system. Heat distribution will be mapped in three ways: (1) new heat flow measurements in existing and new drill-holes; (2) a granite source-sediment heat trap map to identify Hot Rock systems; and (3) enhancements to the 5km-temperature-map method of Chopra and Holgate1. The geothermal information system will include thermal conductivity, thermal gradient, geochemistry, density, and heat production amongst other data types.
The Australian Government is also facilitating and funding the preparation of a Geothermal Industry Development Framework, which is being lead by the Department of Industry, Tourism and Resources. The Development Framework aims to support the growth of Australia's geothermal industry by identifying opportunities and impediments to the industry's growth, and developing strategies to ensure that technical, economic and regulatory obstacles are tackled in a coordinated way.

Intrusion Related Gold Deposits

Intrusion Related Gold Deposits (IRGD) represents a new class of mineral deposit, although still regarded as controversial (Sillitoe, 1991; Thompson et al., 1999).  The consistent association of IRGDs with certain magma types, their consistent polymetallic metal associations (Au, Bi, W, As, Mo, Te and/or Sb; Lang et al., 2000), metal zonation patterns, and the presence of Au in high temperature melt inclusions associated with intrusion proximal examples indicate that a magmatic origin for IRGD can be regarded with confidence (Mustard et al., 2004).  The importance of the geochemical inheritance of anomalous Au in felsic magmas (eg. Tomkins and Mavrogenes, 2003) is unclear but is probably not required, and does not explain the consistent associations between IRGD and certain granite types.  Gold must be preserved in the melt fraction of crystallizing plutons and be available to the fluid phase during exsolution.  Low S magmas of intermediate to felsic compositions with intermediate oxidation states favour neither early sulfide or magnetite precipitation, or early SO2 formation.  The absence of these conditions should be conducive to the preservation of Au in the melt fraction of granite magmas (Blevin, 2004).

Architecture of the Arrowie Basin, South Australia, Based on Deep Seismic Reflection Data

The Arrowie Basin in South Australia represents the last phase of sedimentation in the Neoproterozoic to Cambrian Adelaide Rift System. As part of the Onshore Energy Security Program funded by the Australian Government, Geoscience Australia, in conjunction with PIRSA, acquired a ~60 km long deep seismic line (08GA-A1) in 2008 across the Arrowie Basin, immediately to the west of the central Flinders Ranges. The basin is of interest for petroleum exploration, because about 15 km to the south of the seismic line, the Wilkatana wells, drilled in the 1950s, encountered non-commercial bituminous hydrocarbons in the Cambrian succession. In 2009, Torrens Energy acquired a ~40 km long seismic line (09TE-01) at Parachilna, about 90 km to the north of the GA line as part of their geothermal exploration program. In the vicinity of these seismic lines, the Arrowie Basin forms part of the essentially undeformed Stuart Shelf (in the west) and the Torrens Hinge Zone (a zone of faulting and folding in the east). The Torrens Hinge Zone occurs immediately to the west of the highly folded component of the Adelaide Rift System in the Flinders Ranges.

Natural hazard risk in Perth, Western Australia - Cities Project Perth Report - 2005

This report is a major risk assessment project based on metropolitan Perth, the capital city of Western Australia. Completed in June 2005, the report is the final publication in Geoscience Australia's Cities Project. Approximately 72% of Western Australia's population of around 1.3 million live in the Perth metropolitan area. Significant areas of Perth are situated along the banks of the flood prone Swan River and close to Australia's most active earthquake zone. There are several limestone belts to the north and south of Perth where karst systems have been discovered and the city's coastline suffers from coastal erosion as a result of high winds and fierce storms.
The study aimed at estimating the impact on the Perth community of several sudden-onset natural hazards. The natural hazards considered are both meteorological and terrestrial in origin. The hazards investigated most comprehensively are riverine floods in the Swan and Canning Rivers, severe winds in metropolitan Perth, and earthquakes in the Perth region. Some socioeconomic factors affecting the capacity of the citizens of Perth to recover from natural disaster events have been analysed and the WA data compared with data from other Australian states. Additionally, new estimates of earthquake hazard have been made in a zone of radius around 200km from Perth, extending east into the central Wheatbelt. The susceptibility of the southwest WA coastline to sea level rise from climate change has also been investigated. A commentary on the tsunami risk to WA coastline communities is also included. 
A postage and handling fee will be associated with the distribution of this product.
