Abstract
The Exploring for the Future program is an initiative by the Australian Government dedicated to boosting investment in resource exploration in Australia. As part of the Exploring for the Future program, this study aims to improve our understanding of the petroleum resource potential of northern Australia. This data release presents the bulk kerogen kinetics of 21 potential source rocks from the McArthur Basin and the Lawn Hill Platform to understand the rate of hydrocarbon conversion. Kerogen was isolated from bulk rock, and analysed by a Rock-Eval 6 (Vinci Technologies, France) using four different temperature ramps. All sample preparation and analyses were carried out in Geoscience Australia’s in-house laboratories. The results of this study can be used to improve our understanding of the hydrocarbon generative potential of Proterozoic aged source rocks in northern Australia.
