3D model of the greater McArthur Basin

Abstract

The Northern Territory Geological Survey (NTGS) is building 3D structural models of the greater McArthur Basin (Northern Territory, Australia). The models are generated from a series of 1D, 2D and 3D data. The present DIP contains an amended model based on the previous regional model of the Wilton package, amended on the western margin using new field data (completed 07/11/2015).

In terms of digital data, the DIP contains 2D GIS objects, 2D cross sections and 3D digital objects grouped as wells, faults and horizons. These objects were used to build previous released models (Bruna and Dhu 2016) but are not necessarily used in the present model update. Newly considered data are summarised herein. The model currently provided in this update is the following:

Regional model of the Wilton package, amended on the south eastern section of the Mallapunyah fault, in the Tanumbirini area (completed 15/06/2016)

This report provides a short explanation of how objects were created and lists the names of these objects. The data objects and GOCAD project are all referenced in GDA 94 zone 53.
