Frontier hydrocarbon systems of the Carrara Sub-basin, South Nicholson region, Australia
<div>The Carrara Sub-basin, discovered in 2017 based on interpretation of 2D deep seismic surveys acquired by Geoscience Australia, is a large sedimentary depocentre in the South Nicholson region straddling the Northern Territory and Queensland. It was interpreted to contain up to 8 km of Paleoproterozoic to Cambrian rocks including stratigraphic equivalents to the Isa Superbasin, South Nicholson Group and Georgina Basin. In order to validate these stratigraphic interpretations and assess the resource prospectivity of the Carrara Sub-basin, the South Nicholson National Drilling Initiative (NDI) Carrara 1 stratigraphic drill hole was completed in late 2020 as a collaboration between the MinEx Cooperative Research Centre, Geoscience Australia and the Northern Territory Geological Survey. NDI Carrara 1 was drilled on the western flanks of the Carrara Sub-basin and reached a total depth of 1751 m, intersecting ca. 630 m of Cambrian Georgina Basin overlying ca. 1100 m of Proterozoic carbonates, black shales and minor siliciclastics. More than 400 NDI Carrara 1 physical samples were analysed as part of an extensive geochemical program, including Rock-Eval pyrolysis and compositional analyses of hydrocarbon shows, whose results and implications for energy prospectivity are summarised here.</div>
