Abstract

The basins dataset provides outlines and names of Australian sedimentary basins and sub-basins onshore and offshore, compiled as part of AGSO marketing activities aimed at encouraging further exploration of Australian oil and gas reserves. The basement relief image is based on a preliminary version of depth to basement map compiled as part of AGSO marketing activities aimed at encouraging further exploration of Australian oil and gas reserves. The image highlights distribution and shape of Australian onshore and offshore sedimentary basins. For most of the mapped area the image reflects depthto the basement (onshore basins, eastern and southern margins). In the absence of depth to the basement data, the deepest horizon or thehorizon reflecting rift-phase development of the basin has been mapped (North West shelf).
