Unconventional Gas Prospectivity of the Cooper Basin

The Cooper Basin is an Upper Carboniferous - Middle Triassic intracratonic basin in north-eastern South Australia and south-western Queensland. The basin is Australia's premier onshore hydrocarbon producing province and, by providing domestic gas for the East Coast Gas Market, is nationally significant. Exploration activity in the region has recently expanded with numerous explorers pursuing newly identified unconventional hydrocarbon plays. While conventional gas and oil prospects are more clearly identified by 3D seismic, the undiscovered unconventional gas resources in the basin remain poorly defined.
This study reviews the hydrocarbon prospectivity of the Cooper Basin, with a focus on unconventional gas resources. Regional basin architecture is characterised through compilation and integration of seismic and well data. Source rock distribution and quality are reviewed demonstrating the abundance of viable source rocks across the whole basin. Petroleum systems modelling, incorporating new compositional kinetics, source quality and Total Organic Carbon (TOC) maps, highlights the variability in burial, thermal and hydrocarbon generation histories between depocentres. 
The Cooper Basin hosts a range of unconventional gas play types, including the very extensive basin-centred and tight gas accumulations in the Permian Gidgealpa Group, deep dry coal gas associated with the Patchawarra and Toolachee formations, as well as the less extensive shale gas plays in the Murteree and Roseneath shales.  The possible extent of key play fairways across the basin are defined using a common risk segment mapping workflow. Low and high confidence play fairway extents are also calculated.

Great Artesian Basin, QLD, 1965 (P311), magnetic line data, AWAGS levelled

Total magnetic intensity (TMI) data measures variations in the intensity of the Earth's magnetic field caused by the contrasting content of rock-forming minerals in the Earth crust. Magnetic anomalies can be either positive (field stronger than normal) or negative (field weaker) depending on the susceptibility of the rock. The data are processed via standard methods to ensure the response recorded is that due only to the rocks in the ground. The results produce datasets that can be interpreted to reveal the geological structure of the sub-surface. The processed data is checked for quality by GA geophysicists to ensure that the final data released by GA are fit-for-purpose.
 These line dataset from the Great Artesian Basin, QLD, 1965 survey were acquired in 1965 by the QLD Government, and consisted of 8959 line-kilometres of data at 6400m line spacing and 400m terrain clearance. To constrain long wavelengths in the data, an independent data set, the Australia-wide Airborne Geophysical Survey (AWAGS) airborne magnetic data, was used to control the base levels of the survey data. This survey data is essentially levelled to AWAGS.

Childara - dose rate no nasvd grid (AWAGS)

The radiometric, or gamma-ray spectrometric method, measures the natural variations in the gamma-rays detected near the Earth's surface as the result of the natural radioactive decay of potassium (K), uranium (U) and thorium (Th). The data collected are processed via standard methods to ensure the response recorded is that due only to the rocks in the ground. The results produce datasets that can be interpreted to reveal the geological structure of the sub-surface. The processed data is checked for quality by GA geophysicists to ensure that the final data released by GA are fit-for-purpose. The total dose rate is due to natural sources of radiation and is computed by adding estimates of cosmic dose at ground level to the terrestrial dose. The terrestrial dose rate grid is derived as a linear combination of the filtered K, U and Th grids. A low pass filter is applied to this grid to generate the filtered total dose rate grid. 
The Geological Survey of South Australia commissioned the Gawler Craton Airborne Survey (GCAS) as part of the PACE Copper initiative. The airborne geophysical survey was flown over parts of the Gawler Craton in South Australia. The program was designed to capture new baseline geoscientific data to provide further information on the geological context and setting of the area for mineral systems. 
This Childara - dose rate no nasvd grid (AWAGS) has a cell size of 0.0004 degrees (approximately 41m) and shows the total dose rate of the Childara Airborne Magnetic Radiometric and DEM Survey, SA, 2017 survey. The data used to produce this grid was acquired in 2017 by the SA Government, and consisted of 135047 line-kilometres of data at 200m line spacing and 60m terrain clearance.

Preliminary report of vulcanological investigation of Lake Lolaru, Bougainville, Territory of New Guinea

Four days were spent in the area, observations being severely limited, firstly by lack of knowledge, on the part of the observer, of overall topography such as could be obtained from aerial photos or viewing the area from an aircraft and secondly by the dense fog which covered the area for the greater portion of the time spent there. Captain Fox of Q.E.A. had previously informed me that during the aerial inspection made by Mr. G.A. Taylor, three areas of "burnt" ground had been observed. Mr. Jones during his stay in the area had located two of those and in addition, two more minor areas. During my stay in the area those fumarolic areas were inspected and in addition, the third area located and inspected. The three major areas shall be referred to as the lower, middle and upper fumarolic areas.

The National Geochemical Survey of Australia: review and impact

The National Geochemical Survey of Australia (NGSA) is Australia’s first national-scale geochemical survey. It was delivered to the public on 30 June 2011, after almost five years of stakeholder engagement, strategic planning, sample collection, preparation and analysis, quality assurance/quality control, and preliminary data analytics. The project was comprehensively documented in seven initial open-file reports and six data and map sets, followed over the next decade by more than 70 well-cited scientific publications. This review compiles the body of work and knowledge that emanated from the project to-date as an indication of the impact the NGSA had over the decade 2011-2021. The geochemical fabric of Australia as never seen before has been revealed by the NGSA. This has spurred further research and stimulated the mineral exploration industry. This paper also critically looks at operational decisions taken at project time (2007-2011) that were good and perhaps – with the benefit of hindsight – not so good, with the intention of providing experiential advice for any future large-scale geochemical survey of Australia or elsewhere. Strengths of the NGSA included stakeholder engagement, holistic approach to a national survey, involvement of other geoscience agencies, collaboration on quality assurance with international partners, and targeted promotion of results. Weaknesses included gaining successful access to all parts of the nation, and management of sample processing in laboratories.

Groundwater dependent waterbodies using Digital Earth Australia WMS

The Groundwater Dependent Waterbodies (GDW) dataset is a subset of the Digital Earth Australia (DEA) Waterbodies product that has been combined with the Bureau of Meteorology’s national Groundwater Dependent Ecosystem (GDE) Atlas to produce surface waterbodies that are known/high potential aquatic GDEs. These aquatic GDEs include springs, rivers, lakes and wetlands. Where known/high potential GDEs intersected a DEA waterbody, the entire DEA waterbody polygon was retained and assigned as a GDW. Additional attributes were added to the waterbody polygons to indicate amount of overlap the waterbody had with the GDE(s) as well as the minimum, mean, median and maximum percentage of time that water has been detected in each GDW relative to the total number of clear observations (1986 to present).
This web service will display a variety of layers with spatial summary statistics of the GDW dataset.
These provide a first-pass representation of known/high potential aquatic GDEs and their surface water persistence, derived consistently from Landsat satellite imagery across Australia.

AUSGeoid98 v.1.0 data files:  (sl57-09)

AUSGeoid98 data files contain a 2 minute grid of AUSGeoid98 data covering the Australian region, which you can use to interpolate geoid-ellipsoid separations for the positions required.You can use your own interpolation software, or you can use Geoscience Australia's Windows Interpolation software (Winter). The data files are text files in a standard format that cover the same area as standard topographic map areas. Files covering both 1:250,000 (approximately 100 x 150 km) and 1:1,000,000 (approximately 400 x 600 km) map areas are available. There is a 4 minute overlap on all sides of each area. Data format: AUSGeoid98 data files have a header record at the start of each file, to distinguish them from the superseded AUSGeoid93 data files. AUSGeoid98 data files show the geoid-ellipsoid separation to 3 decimal places, while the superseded AUSGeoid93 data files showed only 2 decimal places. AUSGeoid98 deflections of the vertical were computed from the geoid-ellipsoid separation surface, while the AUSGeoid93 deflections of the vertical were computed from OSU91A.

Geodynamic setting and controls on iron oxide Cu-Au (U) ore in the Gawler Craton, South Australia

The Olympic iron oxide Cu-Au (IOCG) Province occurs along the eastern margin of the Gawler craton nucleus where oxidized (magnetite-series), A-type granitoid plutons of the 1595-1575 Ma Hiltaba Suite were emplaced into an accreted Paleoproterozoic terrane, and where mafic volcanic rocks of the lower Gawler Range Volcanics are most abundant. This magmatism comprises the central part of a diachronous corridor of bimodal I-, A- and subordinate S-type intrusions that extends across the Gawler and Curnamona cratons, and was emplaced in a distal continental retro-arc setting during amalgamation of the North and South Australia cratons. IOCG mineralisation mostly formed during a short lived episode of NNW-SSE extension that approximately coincided with eruption of the Gawler Range Volcanics (ca. 1595-1590 Ma), but was preceded and followed by more protracted NW-SE to NNW-SSE contraction. The deposits were emplaced along ENE- to NE-trending extensional faults near their intersections with major NNW- to NW-trending faults in the hangingwall of first-order terrane boundary faults, such as the Elizabeth Creek and Pine Point Fault Zones.
Area selection guidelines for further discoveries beneath the extensive cover are considered at subprovince, district and deposit scales.
