Galilee Basin region: surface water package

Publicly available baseline surface water data are compiled to provide a common information base for resource development and regulatory decisions in the Galilee Basin region. This data guide captures existing knowledge of the catchments and watercourses overlying the Galilee Basin, including streamflow quality and quantity, inundation, and climatological data.
The Galilee Basin straddles the Great Dividing Range and encompasses the headwaters of 9 major river basins, with the largest area underlying Cooper Creek, Diamantina River and Flinders River catchments. The Galilee Basin geological boundary also intersects parts of the catchment of the Burdekin River, Fitzroy River, Warrego River, Bulloo River, Paroo River and Condamine-Balonne rivers.
The data on the catchments overlying the Galilee Basin have been summarised at a point in time to inform decisions on resource development activities. Key data sources are the Water Monitoring Information Portal (Queensland Government), Water Data Online (Bureau of Meteorology), DEA Water Observations (Geoscience Australia) and Terrestrial Ecosystem Research Network.

GSWA Gascoyne ppm Thorium Grid Geodetic

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.
This radiometric thorium grid has a cell size of 0.00083 degrees (approximately 89m) and shows thorium element concentration of the Gascoyne, WA, 2005 in units of parts per million (or ppm). The data used to produce this grid was acquired in 2005 by the WA Government, and consisted of 104897 line-kilometres of data at 400m line spacing and 60m terrain clearance.

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.

Geological Context of the 2022 Offshore Acreage Release Areas for Petroleum Exploration

In 2022, the Australian Government released ten offshore petroleum exploration areas. They are located in the Bonaparte Basin, Browse Basin, Northern Carnarvon Basin and Gippsland Basin. The areas highlight that producing provinces rather than data-poor regions are the preferred targets for exploration activities. In addition, the transition to low carbon energy resources, including opportunities for carbon capture and storage, has seen a diversification of energy companies’ portfolios. The Australian Government is supportive of the upstream energy industry, with natural gas seen as an important enabling energy resource commodity that supports the expansion of low emission technologies and related infrastructure. Most of the areas being offered for exploration in 2022 are likely to generate extra volumes of natural gas, both for domestic markets as well as securing feedstock for existing LNG export projects for the longer term. 
Consistent with the approach of recent releases, only one period for work program bidding has been scheduled. The closing date for all bid submissions is 2 March 2023. 
Geoscience Australia provides pre-competitive data and petroleum geological information in support of industry activities. Its petroleum geological studies aim to improve the understanding of the evolution of hydrocarbon-bearing basins at a regional scale and include a review of source rock and fluid occurrences, their geochemical characteristics, and petroleum systems modelling. Most recent examples include a sedimentological/stratigraphic study that investigates the depositional history of the southern Bonaparte Basin during the late Permian to Early Triassic evaluating the controls on reservoir facies development. A regional petroleum geological study of the Otway Basin, with a focus on the deeper water area and utilising newly industry acquired regional seismic data, provides new insights into the hydrocarbon prospectivity of this largely underexplored offshore part of the basin. Latest results of these studies were presented at this year’s APPEA conference. Large seismic and well data sets, submitted under the Offshore Petroleum and Greenhouse Gas Storage Act 2006 (OPGSSA) are made available through the National Offshore Petroleum Information Management System (NOPIMS). Additional data and petroleum related information can be accessed through Geoscience Australia’s data repository

Produced Formation Water Discharge from a Production Platform to the North West Shelf. 1995. Marine Survey 152

During September 1995, the Australian Geological Survey Organisation and the Australian Institute of Marine Science took part in a joint survey aboard the 'Lady Basten' to monitor the dispersion, fates and effects of Produced Formation Water (PFW) discharged from the Harriet 'A' production platform on the North West Shelf.
The AGSO component of the work involved using Continuous Geochemical Tracer (CGT) analysis of specific light hydrocarbons (C1-C6, benzene and toluene) to map the shape and extent of the discharged PFW plume in surface waters at 2 m. depth.
Hydrographic parameters including water temperature, dissolved oxygen, pH, salinity and turbidity were also continuously profiled. Four hydrocarbon vertical profiles were completed at various distances from the platform and several surface water samples collected for isotopic analysis. The profIling was conducted at speeds of 2 to 8 knots resulting in a typical data-point spacing of 180 metres. A total of 993 line kilometres of geochemical and hydrographic data were collected during the survey period in a tidal range which varied from 1.5 to 3.0 metres.

Adavale Basin: Unconventional oil and gas package

Publicly available data was compiled to provide a common information base for resource development, environmental and regulatory decisions in the Adavale Basin. This data guide gives an example of how these data can be used to create the components of a workflow to identify unconventional hydrocarbon resource opportunities. The data guide is designed to support the data package that provide insights on unconventional hydrocarbon resources in the Adavale Basin.
The unconventional hydrocarbon assessment for the Adavale Basin includes tight gas, shale resources (shale oil and gas) and coal seam gas for 8 geological intervals, termed plays – these intervals have been defined by Wainman et al. (2023). The assessment captures data from well completion reports and government data sources (e.g. Queensland Petroleum Exploration Database (QPED) from the Geological Survey of Queensland (GSQ) Open Data Portal) along with the scientific literature to inform the components required for unconventional hydrocarbons to be present. Thirty-nine boreholes in the Adavale Basin were assessed with data used to map out gross depositional environments and their geological properties relevant for unconventional hydrocarbon assessments.
The data are compiled at a point in time to inform decisions on resource development activities. The guide outlines the play-based workflow for assessing unconventional hydrocarbon resource prospectivity. Each of the elements required for a prospective unconventional hydrocarbon system is explained and mapped. These data were merged and spatially multiplied to show the relative assessment of unconventional hydrocarbon prospectivity across the basin, at both play interval and basin scale. As an example of assessments contained within the data package, this data guide showcases the tight gas prospectivity of the Buckabie Play interval.
