Eromanga Basin: Unconventional oil and gas package
Publicly available data was compiled to provide a common information base for resource development, environmental and regulatory decisions in the Eromanga Basin region. This data guide gives an example of how these data can be used to create the components of a workflow to identify unconventional hydrocarbon resource opportunities. The data guide is designed to support the data package that provide insights on unconventional hydrocarbon resources in the Eromanga Basin.
The unconventional hydrocarbon assessment for the Eromanga Basin includes shale resources (shale oil and gas) and coal seam gas for 6 of the 9 geological intervals, termed plays – these intervals have been defined by Wainman et al. (2023a, 2023b). Tight gas was not assessed due to play intervals lying above the zone of significant overpressure zone (2,800 m below ground level) in the Cooper-Eromanga region. The assessment captures data from well completion reports and government data sources to inform the components required for unconventional hydrocarbons to be present in the Eromanga Basin. The assessment captures data from the Great Artesian Basin geological and hydrogeological surfaces update (Vizy and Rollet, 2022), the Queensland Petroleum Exploration Database (QPED) from the Geological Survey of Queensland (GSQ) Open Data Portal (2020a), the Petroleum Exploration and Production System of South Australia (PEPS, 2021) and Draper 2002. These datasets were used to map out gross depositional environments and their geological properties relevant for unconventional hydrocarbon assessments.
The data are compiled at a point in time to inform decisions on resource development activities. The data guide will outline the play-based workflow for assessing unconventional hydrocarbon prospectivity. Each of the elements required for a prospective unconventional hydrocarbon system is explained and mapped. These data are integrated and merged to show the relative assessment of unconventional prospectivity across the basin, at both play interval and basin scale. As an example of assessments contained within the dataset, this data guide showcases the prospectivity of shale resources in the Birkhead Play interval.

- Statement
-
This package has been developed as part of the the Trusted Environmental and Geological Information program (TEGI), and is providing better and more streamlined access to information and data for geological basins prospective for energy, carbon capture and storage, groundwater and minerals.
The program has identified and collated trusted baseline data and information for four prospective basin regions and supplement it with new geological and environmental assessments. This information will provide Australian governments, industry and communities with the highest-quality trusted science available to make faster, clearer decisions and provide better outcomes for the environment and water resources.
