Description
"The Houtman Sub basin is an under-explored region of the northern Perth Basin, offshore Western Australia. Only three wells have been drilled in the southern part of the sub-basin, while the northern part remains an exploration frontier. Adjacent areas of the Perth Basin are proven hydrocarbon provinces with a long and continuing history of exploration, discovery and production. New seismic reflection data, obtained by Geoscience Australia in 2014-15 (GA-349) under the Australian government's precompetitive data acquisition program, has been used to reassess the tectonic evolution, structural architecture, major depositional phases and petroleum prospectivity of this frontier basin. Interpretation of these data has enabled mapping of the Moho, basement, pre-rift sequences and major syn rift sequences, along with the creation of a 3D geological model covering the survey area. As a result, this study has significantly reduced the level of exploration risk in the northern Houtman Sub-basin. Seismic interpretation, integrated with potential field modelling, shows a large variation in crustal structure beneath the study area."--Online abstract.
