Impact Modes and Effects Analysis: Shale and tight gas Cooper Basin


## **Abstract** 
This dataset and its metadata statement were created within the Geological and Bioregional Assessment Program based on expert elicitation. There are no source datasets used. This dataset describes the application of Impact Modes and Effects Analysis (IMEA) to the hazards associated with the Cooper GBA region. Attention is restricted to potential impacts to water or the environment, i.e. hazards that might lead directly or indirectly to impacts on groundwater or surface water, or to the availability of suitable habitat, and the assets that depend on them. The hazard analysis follows the IMEA process described in http://data.bioregionalassessments.gov.au/submethodology/M11.

Beetaloo Sub-basin cores and cuttings isotope data


## **Abstract** 
This dataset contains the chemical and strontium isotope data of a selection of cores and cuttings from the Beetaloo Sub-basin, which were assessed from the core library of the Northern Territory Geological Survey. A total of 5 bores (Amungee NW-1, Beetaloo W1, BH 1, 12BC001, 12LE001) were sampled for either cuttings or parts of the core. The data showed that the aquifer variability for strontium isotopes is much higher than the groundwater variability (as expected) but also that waters in the CLA have a strontium isotope range that differs from the one of the aquifer rock. Furthermore the analyses allowed estimating the in-situ production of helium from radioactive decay of U and Th in the host rock and demonstrated that the high helium concentrations found in groundwater could not be produced within the aquifer itself but are due to fluid admixture from other (likely deeper) formations.

## **History** 
These were analysed at the CSIRO Analytical Support Unit at Waite Campus for their elemental content by cation and Sr isotope analysis after digestion with Aqua Regia – for carbonate samples – or HF digestion – for samples with higher silicate contents such as basalts and sandstones below the CLA. Further elemental analysis, especially uranium and thorium analysis was performed using XRF analysis at CSIRO Mineral Resources.

Beetaloo Sub-basin magnetic georeference image


## **Abstract** 
The dataset was derived by the Geological and Bioregional Assessment Program. Georeferenced TIF image of the magentics of the Beetaloo Sub-basin and adjacent area.  Total magnetic intensity (TMI) data measures variations in the intensity of the Earth magnetic field caused by the contrasting content of rock-forming minerals in the Earths crust. Magnetic anomalies can be either positive (field stronger than normal) or negative (field weaker) depending on the susceptibility of the rock. The 2015 Total magnetic Intensity (TMI) grid of Australia has a grid cell size of ~3 seconds of arc (approximately 80 m). This grid only includes airborne-derived TMI data for onshore and near offshore continental areas.

## **History** 
This dataset is a clip of the Total Magnetic Intensity (TMI) Grid of Australia 2015 (sixth edition) for the area immediately surrounding the Beetaloo GBA region.  The clip was carried out in ArcGIS software and saves in GEOTIFF format.  For more information on the parent dataset please see http://pid.geoscience.gov.au/dataset/ga/89595 .

Database of CMIP5 climate change projections


## **Abstract** 
The dataset was derived by the Geological and Bioregional Assessment Program from CMIP5 GCMs outputs. The scaling factors were calculated for the period 2046-2075 against 1976-2005. The 10th, 50th and 90th percentile of the scaling factors are derived on the basis of 42 GCMs for RCP4.5 and 41 GCMs for RCP8.5. The processes undertaken to produce this derived dataset are described in the History field in this metadata statement.

Beetaloo GBA assets


## **Abstract** 
The dataset was derived by the Geological and Bioregional Assessment Program. This dataset contains a snapshot of the point-of-truth asset database extracted on 23 May 2019. Please note that the asset database can be updated so a more current version might be available at https://www.bioregionalassessments.gov.au/assessments/geological-and-bioregional-assessment-program/Beetalo-gba-region. The worksheet entitled 'AssetList' records only those assets potentially impacted, either positively or negatively, by changes in the groundwater and/or surface water regime due to unconventional gas resource development and, therefore, registered for inclusion in other components of the geological and bioregional assessment.

Cooper GBA region landscape classes


## **Abstract** 
The dataset was compiled by the Geological and Bioregional Assessment Program from multiple sources identified in the Lineage field in this metadata statement. A landscape classification approach was used to determine how hydrological changes due to shale, tight and deep coal gas development may affect ecosystems at a landscape scale in the Cooper GBA region. Seven landscape classes have been identified for the Cooper GBA region.


## **Attribution** 
Geological and Bioregional Assessment Program


## **History** 
Inputs into the landscape classification were based on existing classification schemes wherever possible and can be purely physical, biological or predictive.
The landscape classification developed for the Cooper GBA region is a harmonisation of the Queensland Land Zones (Wilson and Taylor, 2012) and South Australian Land Systems (Santos, 1997), reflecting the substantial areas of the Cooper Basin in both states. Consistent with the principles outlined above, it sought to use existing data sources and classifications, and to leverage the extensive effort already expended to develop highly relevant conceptual models at both landscape scale and wetland scale by the Queensland Government as part of its Wetlands Program (Department of Environment and Science (Qld), 2017).
Detailed land zones (Qld) within the Cooper GBA region were supplied by the Queensland Government (Department of Environment and Science (Qld), 2018a) and assigned to corresponding landscape classes. Land systems in South Australia (Santos, 1997) were coarsely mapped in the 1990s; hence, landscape classes for the Cooper Basin within SA were refined from land systems based on land system mapping, detailed (1:100 000) surface geology (Department for Energy and Mining (SA), 2018), elevation (Geoscience Australia, 2008) and landscape position inferred from 30 m Landsat images.

3D Gravity Models of the Capel and Faust Basins, Lord Howe Rise

This report is part of a set delivered by Geoscience Australia on interpretation of data acquired during the summer of 2006/07 on seismic reflection, refraction and potential field survey GA-302. 

A 3D approach to the gravity modelling was necessitated by the irregular geological structure of depocentres and basement highs. Over 6000 m of sediment is interpreted in the deepest pockets.

The tools developed to realise the 3D gravity modelling are described in some detail. The gravity modelling process is also presented with a view to easing the integration of 3D mapping methods with a traditional reflection seismic interpretation workflow in the marine sedimentary basin environment.

3D Geological Modelling and Petroleum Prospectivity Assessment in Offshore Frontier Basins using GOCAD: Capel and Faust Basins, Lord Howe Rise

As part of Geoscience Australia's analysis of the Capel-Faust basins this report summarises the construction methodology and the resulting geological and prospectivity implications of the Capel-Faust 3D geological model. The Capel and Faust basins are located over the northern part of the Lord Howe Rise, a large offshore frontier region composed of a number of rift basins with unknown petroleum prospectivity. Geoscience Australia has been undergoing a program of data acquisition in this area over a number of years, yet most dataset coverage remains regional with little well control. Given the diversity of acquired data, the comparative sparseness of coverage (despite the new data acquisition) and the structural complexity of basins, effective data integration and analysis methods were essential in the Capel-Faust region. By using the 3D visualisation and modelling environment provided by GOCAD, the diverse datasets were captured, processed and interpreted to create an integrated basin model that enabled key geological and prospectivity questions to be answered.
