Reconstructed thermal and structural histories derived from new AFTA Apatite Fission Track Analysis, vitrinite reflectance and (U-Th)/He apatite dating results from the Morum-1 well, Otway Basin, reveal that the Morum High is a mid-Tertiary inversion...

AFTA is based on the progressive reduction in track length as a function of temperature and time ("fission track annealing"). This reduction in track length is also manifested as a reduction in fission track age. New tracks are produced throughout...

This paper summarizes new and recent apatite fission track analysis and vitrinite reflectance results from across the Irish Sea basin system and its margins, which provide new constraints on the magnitude and timing of post-Palaeozoic exhumation...

Integration of regional seismic interpretation, sonic velocity, vitrinite reflectance and apatite fission track analysis (AFTA®) studies has demonstrated that the western region of the Moray Firth rift arm (UK North Sea) experienced pronounced...

Otway Basin U-Th_He ages presentation Structurally complex, containing numerous unconformities. •Rapid fluctuation in maturity over small distances. •Previous studies using AFTA and VR reveal multiple paleo-thermal episodes. •Mid-Cretaceous (~95 Ma)...

AFTA data, paleotemperature, Fission track, thermal history etc. UK case studies presentation

Commercial hydrocarbon discoveries in the Otway Basin are currently limited to the Victorian Port Campbell Embayment, both onshore and offshore and the onshore Penola Trough in South Australia. Previous AFTA®-based studies have shown that the regional...

The Taranaki Basin contains most of New Zealand’s commercial hydrocarbon reserves. The southern parts of Taranaki Basin underwent inversion during the late Miocene, with published AFTA and vitrinite reflectance data suggesting ~2.5 to 3 km of section...

Apatite fission-track and vitrinite reflectance data from Central England demonstrate how these techniques can reveal otherwise unrecognized tectonic and/or palaeothermal episodes in apparently tectonically stable areas. The results document the...

Apatite fission track analysis and vitrinite reflectance studies of the Otway Basin (Southeastern Australia) have revealed numerous mid-Cretaceous, mid-Tertiary and Late Tertiary tectono-hermal events, reflecting both temporal variation in basal heat...

The eastern Officer Basin in South Australia contains a Neoproterozoic to Devonian succession overlain by relatively thin ( < 500 m) Permian, Mesozoic and Tertiary deposits. Within the basin fill, there are several major unconformities representing...

In an attempt to better understand the thermal history of the Ahnet and Reggane Basins, the techniques of apatite fission track analysis and zircon fission track analysis were employed on samples from a number of exploration wells previously drilled...

66 sidewall cores were processed and examined.

53 sidewall cores were processed and examined.

In a search for possible economic Permian coal seams buried at the southern end of the Boorthanna Trough of the Arckaringa Basin, the Petromin joint venture consortium selected an area to drill where it was inferred that such coal might lie within 300...
