Abstract

In September and October of 2011 Geoscience Australia surveyed part of the offshore northern Perth Basin, in order to map potential sites of natural hydrocarbon seepage. The primary objectives of the survey were to map the spatial distribution of seepage sites and characterise the nature of the seepage at these sites (gas vs oil, macroseepage vs microseepage; palaeo vs modern day seepage) on the basis of: - acoustic signatures in the water column, shallow subsurface and on the seabed; - geochemical signatures in rock and sediment samples and the water column, and; - biological signatures on the seabed.
