Vulcan Tertiary Tie (VTT) Basin Study: Vulcan Sub-basin, Timor Sea, Northwestern Australia

Created 16/10/2025

Updated 16/10/2025

As part of its ongoing investigations into the basin evolution and petroleum systems of the Australian continental margin, the Australian Geological Survey Organisation (AGSO) carried out two high resolution seismic acquisition programs (the VTT and VTX surveys) in the Vulcan Sub-basin (and surrounds), Timor Sea. In this report, the 5000 km of VTT and VTX seismic data have been interpreted and integrated with well and other data to provide a regional structural and sequence stratigraphic framework for this highly prospective, but geologically complex, region. It is hoped that this study will both provide AGSO with a sound interpretative framework for its ongoing regional studies, as well as providing an important data base for companies exploring in this area.
