SUMMARYThe plays of the Bowen and Surat basins consist of conventional structural plays along major regional structures and depositional platforms, most of which have some stratigraphic component. These can be subdivided into three main regions: the eastern and western flanks of the Taroom Trough, and the Denison Trough. Coal seam gas is found in fairway zones within the Permian coals of the Bowen Basin, which can be subdivided into two main fairways: structurally associated plays in the southern Bowen Basin, and a tighter play in the northern Bowen Basin. Coal seam gas is also found along a broad fairway in the Walloon Coal Measures of the Surat Basin. Recent exploration for new targets has highlighted potential for tight gas in the deeper sections of the Bowen Basin, though further evaluation is required. More speculative plays within the region include tight gas within potential, but untested targets in the deeper sections of the Denison Trough.
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.
