Final Report on the Geology of Northern Territory - EP31

Abstract

This report summarises the results of geological and geophysical evaluation carried out prior to the surrender of EP31. Although gas and oil has clearly been generated within the on-shore Bonaparte Basin, source rock data is inadequate to identify the origin of the reported gas and oil occurrences. Considerable work remains to be done before the basin can be better assessed. Results to-date indicate generally poor reservoir properties and a much higher probability for gas than oil.
