Abstract
The Browse Basin, NW Australia, contains significant hydrocarbon reserves. It was identified as potentially suitable for offshore geological storage of CO2. A sequence stratigraphic analysis of 60 key wells was conducted to improve the understanding of sequence architecture, facies and palaeogeographic evolution of the earliest Campanian to latest Maastrichtian section for CO2 storage assessment.in the Browse Basin. This study provided new insights into sediment source and transport to the basin deep. Well log analysis and seismic interpretation identified submarine fans of the K60 interval as potential CO2 storage targets. In some areas potential lateral connection between submarine fans and the shelf via submarine canyons and channels can limit containment. More detailed investigations at a prospect scale are needed to fully assess sand-body connectivity and CO2 storage potential.
