Understanding the Architecture and Petroleum Potential of Australia's Onshore Sedimentary Basins with Deep Seismic Reflection Data

Created 17/10/2025

Updated 17/10/2025

The Onshore Energy Security Program, funded by the Australian Government and conducted by Geoscience Australia, has acquired deep seismic reflection data across several frontier sedimentary basins to stimulate petroleum exploration in onshore Australia. Interpretation of the new seismic data from these onshore basins, focusing on overall basin geometry, internal sequence stratigraphy and petroleum potential, will be presented here. This will provide the basis for ongoing work which will aim to assess the petroleum potential of these basins. Key words: Seismic data, Arrowie Basin, Millungera Basin, Georgina Basin, Yathong Trough, Darling Basin.
