As part of the Australian Government’s Energy Security Initiative, a new tectono-stratigraphic and petroleum
systems study has been carried out in the Vlaming Sub-basin on Australia’s southwest continental margin. The study has included: biostratigraphic revisions for key wells; seismic interpretations of new and reprocessed data; geochemical assessments of key source rock intervals and liquid hydrocarbons; structural restoration of key seismic sections; and, 3D burial history modelling. Results have significantly improved our understanding of the Vlaming Sub-basin’s evolution and provide a basis for future exploration. New exploration opportunities in the southern Vlaming Sub-basin are open to explorers through the Australian Government’s 2008 Acreage Release.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
