PEL 22 exploration guidelines and the prospects for locating hydrocarbons (in) the Gambier Embayment, South Australia.

Created: 13 Nov 2024 Revised: 13 Nov 2024

Author: Harrison, M.R.

This study concentrates on the correlation of lithostratigraphic units, establishing a model for the likely source rock maturity pattern, and elucidating the structure, seal and reservoir relationships. The Early Cretaceous Otway Group is considered to be mature for oil generation over the entire study area and contains probable source rocks. A high hydrocarbon entrapment potential is also recognised in the Lower Tertiary section and in the Late Cretaceous Waarre Formation.
