Frontier Basins of the West Australian Continental Margin: Post-survey Report of Marine Reconnaissance and Geological Sampling Survey GA2476

This report (Record 2009/38) contains the description and preliminary analysis of datasets acquired during Geoscience Australia marine reconnaissance survey GA2476 to the west Australian margin. The survey, completed as part of the Federal Government's Offshore Energy Program, was undertaken between 25 October 2008 and 19 January 2009 using the German research vessel RV Sonne. The survey acquired geological, geophysical, oceanographic and biological data over poorly known areas of Australia's western continental margin. Data from the marine reconnaissance survey (GA2476) and the concordant regional seismic survey (GA0310) will improve knowledge of frontier sedimentary basins and marginal plateaus and allow assessment of their petroleum prospectivity and environmental significance. These data will be used to improve resource management and underpin decisions regarding future acreage release in offshore Western Australia and marine zone management.
Four key areas were targeted: the Zeewyck and Houtman sub-basins (Perth Basin), the Cuvier margin (northwest of the Southern Carnarvon Basin), and the Cuvier Plateau (a sub-feature of the Wallaby Plateau). Over the duration of the survey a total of 229,000 km2 (26,500 line-km) of seabed was mapped with the multi-beam sonar, 25,000 line-km of digital shallow seismic reflection data and 25,000 line-km of gravity and magnetic data.  A variety of sampling equipment was deployed over the duration of the survey, including ocean floor observation systems (OFOS), deep-sea TV controlled grab (BODO), boxcores, rock dredges, conductivity-temperature-depth profilers (CTD) and epibenthic sleds.  A total of 62 stations were examined throughout the survey, including 16 over the Houtman Sub-basin, 16 over the Zeewyck Sub-basin, 13 in the Cuvier margin, 12 over the Cuvier Plateau and four in the Indian Ocean.  This report is intended to provide a comprehensive overview of the survey activities, equipment used and preliminary results form survey GA2476.

Botany-Banksmeadow Gravity Honours Project (P199420), gravity point data

Gravity data measures small changes in gravity due to changes in the density of rocks beneath the Earth's surface. 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 Botany-Banksmeadow Gravity Honours Project (P199420) contains a total of 259 point data values acquired at a spacing of 20 metres. The data is located in NSW and were acquired in 1994, under project No. 199420 for University of Sydney (USYD).

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 Galilee, Qld, 2011 survey were acquired in 2011 by the QLD Government, and consisted of 125102 line-kilometres of data at 400m line spacing and 80m 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.

Structural characteristics of the northern Houtman sub-basin, Perth Basin

The northern Houtman Sub-basin is an under-explored region of Australia’s western continental margin. It is located at the transition between the non-volcanic margin of the northern Perth Basin and the volcanic province of the Wallaby Plateau and lies adjacent to the Wallaby-Zenith Transform Margin. In 2014, Geoscience Australia acquired new 2D seismic data (GA-349, 3455 km) across the northern Houtman Sub-basin to assess its hydrocarbon prospectivity. Previous studies of the Houtman Sub-basin indicated that en-echelon basin bounding N-NW trending faults are associated with the Permian half graben complex, however, it was not known if this structural style continued into the northern area of the Houtman Sub-basin.
This study integrated interpretation of the recently acquired survey, with regional interpretation of the Houtman Sub-basin. This was further supported by well data and geophysical modelling and a regional 2D structural and stratigraphic interpretation developed. Structural mapping was done for the basement, Early Triassic (Woodada Formation) and Early Jurassic (Eneabba Formation). 
The basement structure of the northern Houtman Sub-basin is controlled by a series of large en-echelon NW-SE trending SW dipping faults, some of which have a throw of more than 10 km. These basement-involved faults control a series of Permian half graben separated by transfer zones and fault ramps. This basement architecture is similar to the inboard part of the southern Houtman Sub-basin, however the structures are larger. The Early Triassic and Early Jurassic faults trend NW-SE similar to the basement-involved faults, however major faults within the Jurassic succession lie about 50 km to the west of the Permian faults. 
Interpretation of the northern Houtman Sub-basin reveals a structurally complex basin containing a wide range of structural and stratigraphic traps at several stratigraphic levels. Potential plays have been identified in the upper Permian, Triassic and Jurassic successions. They include large stratigraphic plays in the Upper Permian/Lower Triassic, rollover anticlines within the Lower Triassic and Jurassic, and fault propagation folds and fault block plays in the Jurassic.

The VLBI Correlator Ambiguity and the Relativistic Group Delay Model

The conventional VLBI relativistic delay model refers to the time epoch when the signal passes one of two stations of an interferometer baseline. Before, 2002, this model was used as part of the correlation procedure. Since 2002, a new correlation procedure has been adopted in which the VLBI group delays refers to the time epoch of signal passage at the geocenter. A new alternative to the conventional VLBI model delay should be introduced to follow that change because the discrepancy between the two relativistic geometrical delay models is up to 6 ps for ground-based VLBI experiments. In addition, a miscalculation of the signal arrival moment to the geocentre or the "reference station" may cause a larger modelling error (up to 50 ps) which would directly affect the radio telescope positions with a corresponding formal error of 15 mm. This is particularly essential for upcoming geodetic VLBI observations as the final goal of 1-mm accuracy needs to be achieved.
