Abstract
Exploration in unconventional hydrocarbons has transformed the petroleum industry in Australia. It has seen the growth of the fledgling Coal Seam Gas (CSG) industry into a major supplier for the eastern energy market, and an exploration boom in shale and tight gas in Australia's onshore basins. The first successful flow from a shale gas well in the Cooper Basin in 2011 has been followed by the first shale gas production from the basin in 2012, and a series of discoveries in other sedimentary basins across Australia. Although much of the activity has been in basins with proven potential for conventional hydrocarbons and coal, unconventional hydrocarbon exploration is increasingly targeting frontier basins. As part of an unconventional prospectivity assessment of Australia's onshore basins, new geological studies have commenced in the Georgina Basin including, new biostratigraphic work, geochemical sampling and analysis and a GIS project. These new data will contribute to a formal unconventional resource assessment.
