Abstract
<div>This study was commissioned by Geoscience Australia (GA) as part of the Exploring for the Future program to produce a report on the organic petrology for rock samples from drill holes of the Birrindudu Basin, Northern Territory, Australia. A suite of 130 drill core samples from 6 drill holes was analysed using standard organic petrological methods to identify the types of organic matter present, assess their relative abundances and determine the levels of thermal maturity attained by the sedimentary organic matter using the reflectance of organoclasts present. </div>

Purpose
This is a report on newly acquired organic petrological data from 6 drill holes of the Birrindudu Basin which inform on the thermal maturity and organic matter types. No such data have been acquired in this basin to date.
