As part of the Australian Government funded Exploring for the Future (EFTF) program, the ‘Australia’s Future Energy Resources’ (AFER) project is a four-year multidisciplinary undertaking to investigate the potential of energy resource commodities in selected onshore Mesozoic and Paleozoic sedimentary basins. In the context of Australia’s path towards a low-carbon economy, the project is focused on energy resources that will support this transition, including natural gas and hydrogen. It also assesses the presence of residual oil zones that could be produced via carbon dioxide (CO2) injection and represent a potentially new underground CO2 storage resource. The initial phase of the AFER project is focused on the central Australian region encompassing the western and central parts of the Eromanga Basin and the underlying Triassic and Paleozoic basin successions (Figure 1). Work is being undertaken primarily in collaboration with the South Australian Department of Energy and Mining (SA DEM) and the Northern Territory Geological Survey (NTGS).
