Abstract

<div>The Proterozoic basins of northern Australia have been the focus of regional hydrocarbon prospectivity studies undertaken by the Exploring for the Future&nbsp;program dedicated to increasing investment in resource exploration in northern Australia. As part of this program, a compilation of the compound-specific isotopic compositions of linear alkanes in source extracts, oils and oil stains from 21 boreholes&nbsp;of the greater McArthur Basin has been completed. The samples were analysed in Geoscience Australia’s Isotope and Organic Geochemistry Laboratory and the stable carbon and hydrogen isotopic data of individual alkanes are released in this report. </div>
