This report is published in two volumes; Volume I: Bowen-Surat and Cooper-Eromanga Basins, Volume II: Gippsland, Bass, Otway, Stansbury, McArthur, Amadeus, Adavale, Galilee and Drummond Basins. Following the basin-by-basin analysis of geochemical characteristics of eastern Australia's oils, a selection of oils that best represented the major families of each region were selected. These oils were statistically analysed using a subset of geochemical (OilMod) parameters derived from GC, GC-MS and carbon isotopic analyses. This exercise was intended to display the variability in oil compositions across the whole of the eastern part of the continent. The chemical classification of oils follows closely upon, and verifies the analysis based on, palaeogeography and the supersystem concepts.
