Key features of new deep seismic reflection lines across frontier sedimentary basins in central Australia: the Arckaringa, Officer, Amadeus and Georgina Basins

Abstract

The Onshore Energy Security Program, funded by the Australian Government and conducted by Geoscience Australia, in conjunction with State and Territory geological surveys, has acquired deep seismic reflection data across several frontier sedimentary basins to stimulate petroleum exploration in onshore Australia. Here, we present the key aspects of the stratigraphy and structural architecture identified using seismic data from the Arckaringa, Officer, Amadeus and Georgina basins on seismic lines 09GA-GA1 and 08GAOM1.
