The stratigraphic, tectonic setting and evolution of mainly Cambrian sediments are considered in relation to hydrocarbon generation and entrapment. Index maps were prepared of geological, aeromagnetic, gravity and seismic data and interpreted to produce structure contour maps of the sub-Cambrian surface, latest Early Cambrian unconformity, and sub-Permian surface. Potential for hydrocarbon development and structural accumulation in Parara Limestone equivalents were recognized, within the Early Cambrian Marsden anticlinal structure. Further geophysical investigation of southern St. Vincent Gulf may be warranted.
