Review of Birkhead Formation oil fields in PELs 5 and 6 and ATP 259P.
The geological settings of Birkhead Formation oil fields in the study area are characterised by access to Permian-sourced hydrocarbons. This study has shown that in over 60% of the fields the main Nappamerri Group seal is absent; for those fields...-
