Gulf of Carpentaria Basin seismic data compilation and interpretation - Metadata Statement
The National Groundwater Systems (NGS) project, is part of the Australian Government’s Exploring for the Future (EFTF) program, led by Geoscience Australia ( https://www.eftf.ga.gov.au/national-groundwater-systems), to improve understanding of Australia’s groundwater resources to better support responsible groundwater management and secure groundwater resources into the future. The project is developing new national data coverages .to further delineate groundwater systems and improve data standards and workflows of groundwater assessment.
While our conceptual understanding of the hydrogeology of the Great Artesian Basin (GAB, Figure 1) continues to grow, in many parts of the Eromanga, Surat and Carpentaria basins that form the GAB we are still reliant on legacy data and knowledge from the 1970s of variable quality. Additional information provided by recent studies in various parts of the GAB highlights the level of architectural complexity and spatial variability in stratigraphic and hydrostratigraphic units across the basin. We now recognise the need to standardise these regional studies to map such geological complexity in a consistent, basin-wide hydrostratigraphic framework that can support effective long-term management of GAB water resources.
The recent iteration of revision of GAB geological and hydrogeological surfaces (Vizy & Rollet, 2022) provides a framework to interpret various data sets consistently (e.g., boreholes, airborne electromagnetic, seismic data) and in a 3D domain, to improve the aquifer geometry, and the lateral variation and connectivity in hydrostratigraphic units across the GAB (Rollet et al., 2022). Vizy and Rollet (2022) highlighted some areas with low confidence in the interpretation of the GAB where further data acquisition or interpretation may reduce uncertainty in the mapping. One of these areas was in the Carpentaria Basin, particularly the transition from the offshore to onshore across the Gulf of Carpentaria.
This data compilation provides open file SEGY, cultural data and value added seismic interpretation in the form of seismic horizons and grids for two key surfaces, these enable improved correlation to existing studies. This data also aim to provide users an efficient mean to rapidly access core data from numerous sources in a consistent and cleaned format, all in a single package.
This dataset provides:
1) Seismic data compilation in a digital format with publically accessible information, including scanned seismic sections converted to SEGY format where digital data was not available;
2) Base Mesozoic and Near Base Cenozoic seismic interpretation in two-way-time;
3) Depth converted regional surfaces for the Base Mesozoic and Near Base Cenozoic unconformities generated using additional constraints such as AEM interpretation and borehole constraints previously compiled in Vizy & Rollet (2022).
This new interpretation will be used to refine the GAB geological and hydrogeological surfaces in this region.
