Abstract
The Exploring for the Future program is an initiative by the Australian Government dedicated to boosting investment in resource exploration in Australia. As part of the Exploring for the Future program, this study aims to improve our understanding of the petroleum resource potential of northern Australia. This data release presents newly derived chemical maturity parameters based on Fourier transform-ion cyclotron resonance-mass spectrometry (FT-ICR-MS) analysis of non-polar (polyaromatic hydrocarbons) and polar (NSO) compounds. As such, it complements optical and bulk chemical techniques. Although, only a single core extract was analysed in this study, the technique offers potential for maturity assessments in high maturity samples outside the range of other traditional chemical maturity estimates and is ideally suited to samples older than the Early Palaeozoic.
