Enhanced Oil Recovery Potential Basins MapServer

This web map service shows the key Australian petroleum producing basins ranked by their potential for CO2 enhanced oil recovery (CO2-EOR), based on a study completed by Geoscience Australia in 2020. Basin rankings result from the assessment of six parameters: the API gravity of the oil, temperature, pressure, reservoir quality (porosity, permeability), nearby CO2 sources and existing infrastructure. Higher rankings indicate greater potential for CO2-EOR. For further information see: Tenthorey, E., and Kalinowski, A. 2022. Screening Australia’s Basins for CO2-Enhanced Oil Recovery.

Upper Burdekin Classified Tasselled Cap Wetness (TCW) Percentage Exceedance Composite MapServer

The Tasselled Cap Wetness (TCW) percentage exceedance composite represents the behaviour of water in the landscape, as defined by the presence of water, moist soil or wet vegetation at each pixel through time. The summary shows the percentage of observed scenes where the Wetness layer of the Tasselled Cap transform is above the threshold, i.e. where each pixel has been observed as ‘wet’. Areas that retain surface water or wetness in the landscape during the dry season are potential areas of groundwater discharge and associated GDEs. The TCW exceedance composite was classified into percentage intervals to distinguish areas that were wet for different proportions of time during the 2013 dry season. Areas depicted in the dataset have been exaggerated to enable visibility.

MRS-1, a new zircon reference material for U-Pb geochronology and Hf and O isotopes

Reference materials (RMs) are essential for most microbeam analysis techniques, both to provide the primary calibration and as "secondary standards" for data quality assurance purposes. Because many of these methods are destructive and/or require the RM to be mounted alongside the unknowns, there is a continuing demand for new RMs to be made available and to have a diversity of RMs that cover a wide compositional range to account for variable matrix effects. Zircon is one of the most widely used accessory minerals; we present a new zircon RM, known as MRS-1 after the Myalla Road Syenite, NSW, from which it was extracted. Extensive testing has demonstrated the MRS-1 zircon grains to be homogeneous with respect to their oxygen isotopic composition and U-Pb ages, and good homogeneity in their Hf isotopic composition. High concentrations of the heavy rare earths (176Yb/177Hf = 0.05 - 0.20, 176Lu/177Hf = 0.001 - 0.004) make this a useful check that the interference correction on 176Hf has been performed correctly, as is the case for our data acquired by LA-ICP-MS compared to data from solution. The mantle-like oxygen isotopic composition determined by laser fluorination matches the composition determined by SIMS (relative to University of Alberta Mud Tank zircon), and the age determined by SIMS, ~174 Ma, agrees with the ID-TIMS value. The abundance of this material and large grain size make it ideal for use in LA-ICP-MS and SIMS labs. A manuscript describing the full characterisation is in preparation, and aliquots of MRS-1 zircon are available from the corresponding author on request.

Abstract prepared for the SGGMP25  18-21 November Conference.

Renewable Energy Capacity Factor Maps WMS

Geoscience Australia and Monash University have produced a series of renewable energy capacity factor maps of Australia. Solar photovoltaic, concentrated solar power, wind (150 m hub height) and hybrid wind and solar capacity factor maps are included in this web service.

Solar Photovoltaic capacity factor map
The minimum capacity factor is &lt;10% and the maximum is 25%. The map is derived from Bureau of Meteorology (2020) data. The scientific colour map is sourced from Crameri (2018).

Concentrated Solar Power capacity factor map
The minimum capacity factor is 52% and the maximum is 62%. The map is derived from Bureau of Meteorology (2020) data. Minimum exposure cut-off values used are from International Renewable Energy Agency (2012) and Wang (2019). The scientific colour map is sourced from Crameri (2018).

Wind (150 m hub height) capacity factor map
The minimum capacity factor is &lt;15% and the maximum is 42%. The map is derived from Global Modeling and Assimilation Office (2015) and DNV GL (2016) data. The scientific colour map is sourced from Crameri (2018).

Hybrid Wind and Solar capacity factor maps
Nine hybrid wind and solar maps are available, divided into 10% intervals of wind to solar ratio (eg. (wind 40% : solar 60%), (wind 50% : solar 50%), (wind 60% : solar 40%) etc.). The maps show the capacity factor available for electrolysis. Wind and solar plants might be oversized to increase the overall running time of the hydrogen plant allowing the investor to reduce electrolyser capital expenditures for the same amount of output. Calculations also include curtailment (or capping) of excess electricity when more electricity is generated than required to operate the electrolyser. The minimum and maximum capacity factors vary relative to a map’s specified wind to solar ratio. A wind to solar ratio of 50:50 produces the highest available capacity factor of 64%. The maps are derived from Global Modeling and Assimilation Office (2015), DNV GL (2016) and Bureau of Meteorology (2020) data. The scientific colour map is sourced from Crameri (2018).

Eucla-Gawler Seismic Survey L203, Line 13GA-EG1: Acquisition and Processing

The Eucla-Gawler 2D deep seismic survey L203 consists of one 834 km seismic line, 13GA-EG1. The data acquisition commenced on 28 November 2013, from Haig, WA and continued east along a road/track parallel to the Trans Australian Railway ending at Tarcoola, SA, on 7 February 2014. The reflection seismic data processing used standard processing and included special attention on refraction statics and deconvolution essential for optimal reflection imaging. High fold stacking provided enhanced seismic reflections in regions of no or weak reflectivity at standard fold. For most of the seismic line, the 20 s seismic data provide images of the full depth of the crust through this region.

Updated Procedures to MLa Estimation for Australian Earthquakes

The principal magnitude type calculated by Geoscience Australia’s National Earthquake Alerts Centre (NEAC) in real-time monitoring of Australian earthquakes is the Australian local magnitude (<em>M</em>La). However, successive changes to seismic analysis systems and methods of pre-processing seismic waveforms over the years have led to changes in how <em>M</em>La has been calculated. These changes in <em>M</em>La estimation have led to biases for the Australian earthquake catalogue. The waveforms of 862 confirmed earthquakes between August 2023 – August 2024 were prefiltered to three high-pass corner frequencies (0.10 Hz, 0.50 Hz, and 0.75 Hz) from which the <em>M</em>La was recalculated. Quality selection criteria were applied targeting signal-to-noise ratios, minimum number contributing stations and the maximum distance of stations.

The number of network <em>M</em>La estimates that met the quality selection criteria increased with increasing high-pass corner filtering (445 earthquakes for the unfiltered <em>M</em>La versus 695 for <em>M</em>La filtered to 0.75 Hz), which is attributed to the improvement of the SNR where prefiltering dampens background noise. The removal of background noise also resulted in a predominant decrease in magnitude estimates. Although this study does not consider potential<em> M</em>La biases due to the measurement of large amplitude <em>Rg</em> phases, the study does provide recommendations for waveform pre-processing for magnitude estimates in the future. The recommendations provide more robust and consistent <em>M</em>La estimates that will be ingested into the national earthquake catalogue. This will yield improved earthquake rate estimates for seismic hazard assessments in Australia.
