Hydrocarbon Prospectivity of Australia's Remote Frontier Areas in Offshore east and south-east Australia - Examples from the Basins of Lord Howe Rise  

Authors / CoAuthors

Blevin, J.E.

Abstract

Evolution of the Lord Howe Rise basin systems and underlying basement terrances were influenced by multiple periods of tectonism and volcanic activity spanning the Palaeozoic to Tertiary. The prospects for hydrocarbon accumulations are moderate to high in several basins of the LHR, with evidence such as amplitude anamalies, bottom-simulating reflectors and low-level seeps observed on seismic and remotedly sensed data. The economic viability of exploration and production in this rremote region has not been assessed.
