Abstract:

The Northern Carnarvon Basin is one of Australia’s most prolific hydrocarbon basins. Overpressure has been encountered in numerous wells drilled in the Northern Carnarvon Basin. Knowledge of overpressure distribution is important for drilling and exploration strategies, and understanding the origin of overpressure is essential for applying reliable pore pressure prediction techniques. Unconventional pore pressure indicators—primarily drilling kicks and the presence of connection gas—were used to improve an updated distribution of overpressure and to investigate the origin of overpressure in th

Abstract:

This study investigates the fire regime for the arid Carnarvon Basin region of Western Australia using remotely sensed imagery. A fire history database was constructed from satellite images to characterise the general fire regime and determine any effect of vegetation types and pre-fire weather and climate. The study area was divided into two sections (northern and southern) due to their inherently different vegetation and climate. A total of 23.8% (15,646 km2) of the study area was burnt during the 39-year study period. Heathland vegetation (54%) burnt the most extensively in the southern stu

Abstract:

The under-explored Carnarvon Terrace is situated offshore of the Cape Range area in the Carnarvon Basin near the boundary of the Gascoyne and Exmouth Sub-basins. The stratigraphy of the area is controlled by only two wells (Pendock-1, Yardie East-1), but several onshore wells aid interpretation of seismic data.Understanding of the structural evolution of the region is facilitated by interpretation of a high-resolution non-exclusive seismic survey acquired by Geco-Prakla in 1993 (GPCTR-93 Survey).Three major tectonic stages are responsible for the structural configuration of the region:Late Pal

Infauna are important in many ecological processes but have been rarely considered in biodiversity assessments of coral reefs and surrounding areas. We surveyed infaunal assemblages and associated environmental factors (depth, seabed reflectance, sediment characteristics) in three areas (Mandu, Point Cloates, Gnaraloo) along the Carnarvon Shelf, Western Australia. This region supports Ningaloo Reef, a relatively pristine coral reef protected by the Ningaloo Marine Park and a Commonwealth marine reserve.

Abstract:

The Perth, Carnarvon, Browse, and Bonaparte basins contain Permian shallowmarine carbonates. Interbedded with clastic oil and gas reservoirs in the northern Perth Basin (Wagina Formation), and gas reservoirs in the Bonaparte Basin (Cape Hay and Tern formations), these carbonates also have the potential to contain significant hydrocarbon reservoirs. Limestone porosity may be related to the primary depositional fabric, or secondary processes such as dolomitisation, karstification, and fracturing.

Abstract:

Key business indicators show an upward trend in exploration activity in Australia during 2006. The year was marked by fluctuating high oil prices, a strong uptake of acreage in most basins, and increased levels of drilling activity and seismic acquisition. Market demand for product, production infrastructure and the fruition of several development projects have pushed the level of exploration activity in both offshore and onshore basins. Despite this trend and the spread of tenements, almost all petroleum discoveries made during 2006 were located within 15 km of existing (but often undeveloped

Esso's recent drilling program in the Merlinleigh Sub-basin, onshore Carnarvon Basin, represents the culmination of the first phase of concerted exploration activity in the area since the WAPET era of the 1960s. The region is unusual among Australian petroleum provinces in having excellent exposures of reservoir, source and seal rocks of Palaeozoic age. While both Esso wells (Burna 1 and Gascoyne 1) failed to encounter hydrocarbons in the primary Wooramel Group play, encouraging potential still exists. The reservoir in the Wooramel Group play is the Early Permian Moogooloo Sandstone, a fluviod

Abstract:

The Australian Government formally releases new offshore exploration areas at the annual APPEA conference. In 2011, 29 areas in eight offshore basins are being released for work program bidding. Closing dates for bid submissions are either six or 12 months after the release date (i.e. 13 October 2011 and 12 April 2012)–this depends on the exploration status in these areas and on data availability. The 2011 Release is the largest since the year 2000 with all 29 areas located in Commonwealth waters offshore NT, WA, Victoria and Tasmania, covering about 200,000 km2.

Abstract:

In Western Australian basins, subsurface drill-hole data, primarily from petroleum exploration, allows the identification of regions of high temperature at depth that may be potential geothermal resources. The extent and economic viability of such resources remain poorly known and require further study. Observed temperatures at depths up to 4.5 km reach 150°C in parts of the Canning, Carnarvon and Perth basins, indicating low-enthalpy resources related to regional heat flow. The greatest potential for hydrothermal resources is in the Perth Basin where subsurface temperatures of 65–85°C are rea

Abstract:

Since the commencement of the major developments on the North West Shelf, the offshore resource industry, during both its construction and operational phases, has faced considerable logistical impediments to cost-effective solutions for the offshore supply chain. These impediments have included distance, scant resources, lack of infrastructure both on and offshore and lack of critical mass.Throughout the world, offshore projects have greatly benefitted from the availability of integrated services to cater for the transport of equipment from the point of manufacture or distribution to the offsh

Significant advances in the development of integrated biostratigraphic methods and knowledge during the past 20 years are now being rapidly integrated into the physical framework provided by depositional sequences.

Abstract:

Record-high oil prices along with on-going development of infrastructure, increasing domestic demand and international LNG sales continued to drive significant investment in exploration in onshore and offshore Australia during 2007. These trends are reflected nationally by strong uptake of acreage and continued high levels of drilling activity and seismic acquisition. Overall, drilling and discovery trends were similar to 2006 which showed significant exploration activity focussed on proven hydrocarbon basins (Carnarvon, Browse, Perth and Cooper basins).

The early history of the Proteaceae in Australia is traced from the record of fossil pollen that possess characters having taxonomic resolution among extant members of the family. Pollen characters useful for segregating subfamilies and generic groups are apertural number and form together with exine stratification and structure. When considered in conjunction with pollen shape, polarity, and size and exine sculpturing, they may be used to discriminate generic and/or species groups. The fossil pollen record suggests that the family originated in northern Gondwana during the late Cenomanian and
