The Capel and Faust basins are located on the northern Lord Howe Rise in water depths of 1300-2500 m. Geoscience Australia recently completed a geological and petroleum prospectivity assessment of the area based on new seismic, potential field, multibeam bathymetry and rock sample data. The data sets were acquired under Australian Geovernment initiatives aimed at providing pre-competitive information to industry.
