This report is a post-drill assessment of wells drilled in the Neoproterozoic to Palaeozoic Arafura Basin and the overlying Mesozoic to Cenozoic Money Shoal Basin. The Arafura Basin is located offshore northern Australia and extends from the onshore Northern Territory to beyond the Australian-Indonesian border. The region is under-explored with only 9 wells drilled, all of which are located in the central Goulburn Graben, a complexly structured feature. They include: Arafura-1, Chameleon-1, Cobra-1A, Kulka-1, Goulburn-1, Money Shoal-1, Tasman-1, Torres-1 and Tuatara-1. These wells have been analysed based on well completion reports, information from Geoscience Australia databases and published reports.
