Abstract
The Nelson, Zeehan and Apollo regions are three of eleven Broad Areas of Interest identified as possible areas for the establishment of Marine Protected Areas by Environment Australia (with statutory and policy responsibility for MPAs), the National Oceans Office (with responsibility for regional marine plans) and other stakeholders. An assessment of the petroleum prospectivity of the Nelson, Zeehan and Apollo regions was undertaken by Geoscience Australia in order to identify areas with the potential to generate and host hydrocarbon accumulations. The assessment used a risk-based approach whereby factors that controlled the sourcing and trapping of hydrocarbons were assessed based on the likeihood of their presence or absence within a particular region. The level of knowledge and confidence in the risk assessment was also incorporated into the ranking of petroleum prospectivity. These factors were considered along with other geological risks to formulate a classification scheme. This scheme has been applied to Nelson 1B, Zeehan 1C and Apollo 1D BAOIs.
