Structural Evolution and Potential Petroleum Plays in the Darling Basin (Pondie Range Trough - Mount Jack area)

Created 17/10/2025

Updated 17/10/2025

The Darling Basin is a Late Silurian to Early Carboniferous feature occupying approximately 100 000 km2 of western New South Wales. In the area of the Pondie Range Trough, near the town of Wilcannia, it comprises up to 12 000 m of sediments, interpreted to have been deposited as syn-rift, thermal sag, and foreland basin phases of basin development, overlain by a veneer of Murray Basin and underlying infrabasin sediments.
