Abstract
Publicly available data was compiled to provide a common information base for resource development, environmental and regulatory decisions in the Galilee Basin. This data guide gives an example of how these data can be used to create the components of a workflow to identify conventional hydrocarbon resource (oil and gas) opportunities. The data guide is designed to support the data package that provide insights on conventional hydrocarbon resources in the Galilee Basin. The conventional hydrocarbon assessment for the Galilee Basin includes oil and gas resources for 5 geological intervals, termed plays – these intervals have been defined by Wainman et al. (2023). The assessment captures data from well completion reports and government data sources (e.g. Queensland Petroleum Exploration Database (QPED) from the Geological Survey of Queensland (GSQ) Open Data Portal) to inform the 5 components required for conventional hydrocarbons to be present. One hundred and sixty-three boreholes in the Galilee Basin were assessed with data used to map out gross depositional environments and their geological properties relevant for conventional hydrocarbon assessments. From these datasets, the following properties were evaluated and mapped across the basin: reservoir presence, reservoir effectiveness, top seal, trap and charge. The data are compiled at a point in time to inform decisions on resource development activities. The guide outlines the play-based workflow for assessing conventional hydrocarbon resource prospectivity. Each of the elements required for a working unconventional hydrocarbon system is explained and mapped. These data are integrated and merged to show the relative assessment of hydrocarbon prospectivity across the basin, at both the play interval and basin scale. As an example of assessments contained within the data package, this data guide showcases the conventional hydrocarbon prospectivity of the Jericho Play interval.

Lineage
This package has been developed as part of the the Trusted Environmental and Geological Information program (TEGI), and is providing better and more streamlined access to information and data for geological basins prospective for energy, carbon capture and storage, groundwater and minerals. The program has identified and collated trusted baseline data and information for four prospective basin regions and supplement it with new geological and environmental assessments. This information will provide Australian governments, industry and communities with the highest-quality trusted science available to make faster, clearer decisions and provide better outcomes for the environment and water resources.
