Chemostratigraphy of Waukarlycarly-1, Canning Basin, Western Australia: Report for Geoscience Australia
This report presents the results of chemostratigraphic analyses for samples of the Waukarlycarly 1 deep stratigraphic well drilled in in the Waukarlycarly Embayment of the Canning Basin. The drilling of the well was funded by Geoscience Australia’s Exploring for the Future initiative to improve the understanding of the sub-surface geology of this underexplored region of the southern Canning Basin. The well was drilled in partnership with Geological Survey of Western Australia (GSWA) as project operator.
Waukarlycarly 1 reached a total depth (TD) of 2680.53 m at the end of November 2019 and was continuously cored from 580 mRT to TD. The work presented in this report constitutes part of the post-well data acquisition. An elemental and isotope chemostratigraphic study was carried out on 100 samples of the well to enable stratigraphic correlations to be made across the Canning Basin within the Ordovician section known to host source rocks. Nine chemostratigraphically distinct sedimentary packages are identified in the Waukarlycarly 1 well and five major chemical boundaries that may relate to unconformities, hiatal surfaces or sediment provenance changes are identified. The Ordovician sections in Waukarlycarly 1 have different chemical signals in comparison to those in other regional wells, suggestive of a different provenance for the origin of the sediments in the Waukarlycarly Embayment compared to the Kidson Sub-basin (Nicolay 1) and Broome Platform (Olympic 1).
