Australian source rocks, fluids and petroleum systems – a new integrated geoscience data discovery portal for maximising data potential

Petroleum geochemical datasets and information are essential to government for evidence-based decision making on natural resources, and to the petroleum industry for de-risking exploration. Geoscience Australia’s newly built Data Discovery Portal ( https://portal.ga.gov.au/) enables digital discoverability and accessibility to key petroleum geochemical datasets. The portal’s web map services and web feature services allow download and visualisation of geochemical data for source rocks and petroleum fluids, and deliver a petroleum systems framework for northern Australian basins. The Petroleum Source Rock Analytics Tool enables interrogation of source rock data within boreholes and field sites, and facilitates correlation of these elements of the petroleum system within and between basins. The Petroleum Systems Summary Assessment Tool assists the user to search and query components of the petroleum system(s) identified within a basin. The portal functionality includes customised data searches, and visualisation of data via interactive maps, graphs and geoscientific tools. Integration of the petroleum systems framework with the supporting geochemical data enables the Data Discovery Portal to unlock the value of these datasets by affording the user a one-stop access to interrogate the data. This allows greater efficiency and performance in evaluating the petroleum prospectivity of Australia’s sedimentary basins, facilitating and accelerating decision making around exploration investment to ensure Australia’s future resource wealth

Statement

The Source Rock and Fluids Atlas of Australia is a fundamental national datasets in Geoscience Australia (GA) dedicated to delivering organic geochemical data relevant to petroleum exploration, including source rocks, crude oils and natural gases. These data were visualised in GA’s portal as a component of the Exploring for the Future program, with emphasis placed upon northern Australian basins. It is underpinned by an Oracle organic geochemical database that comprises the results from a wide range of analytical techniques. These data have been collected over several decades from well completion reports and destructive analysis reports, geological sampling programs by GA and state and territory geological organisations and from publications. See eCat 34313 for further information. https://pid.geoscience.gov.au/dataset/ga/34313
