A review of petroleum exploration and prospects in the Perth Basin
Petroleum exploration carried out in the Perth Basin up to August
1975 has been reviewed to provide a current assessment of knowledge of the
basin and to determine the need for future exploration.
The Perth Basin is in the form of a half-graben which developed
as a result of movement along the major Darling-Urella fault system which
forms the eastern boundary of the basin. It contains very large thicknesses
of post-Cambrian sediments known to include source, reservoir and cap rocks
suitable for petroleum accumulation. The tectonic forces which have moulded
the basin have been predominantly tensional and faulting is prevalent
throughout the basin.
A considerable amount of petroleum exploration has been done both
onshore and offshore and some commercially exploited gas fields have been
discovered onshore in the northern part of the basin. The prospectivity
of the basin varies from area to area, but overall it is regarded as fair.
There is considerable scope for future exploration, particularly offshore
where the number of wells drilled is small considering the large area
involved.
