Abstract

<div>The Adavale Basin is located approximately 850 km west-northwest of Brisbane and southwest of Longreach in south-central Queensland. The basin system covers approximately 100,000 km2 and represents an Early to Late Devonian (Pragian to Famennian) depositional episode, which was terminated in the Famennian by widespread contractional deformation, regional uplift and erosion. </div><div>Burial and thermal history models were constructed for nine wells using existing open file data to assess the lateral variation in maturity and temperature for potential source rocks in the Adavale Basin, and to provide an estimate of the hydrocarbon generation potential in the region.</div>

Purpose

This work, conducted as part of Geoscience Australia’s Exploring for the Future (EFTF) initiative, contributes to the ‘Onshore Basin Inventories’ study, which aims to promote exploration and investment in selected underexplored onshore basins. Basin inventory reports and petroleum systems modelling are being undertaken in select basins to understand the energy potential in underexplored regions, and to increase the impact of existing datasets.
