Cooper Basin

The Australian Petroleum Source Rocks Mapping project is a new study to improve understanding of the petroleum resource potential of Australia’s sedimentary basins. The Permian source rocks of the Cooper Basin, Australia’s premier onshore hydrocarbon-producing province, are the first to be assessed for this project. Quantifying the spatial distribution and petroleum generation potential of these source rocks is critical for understanding both the conventional and unconventional hydrocarbon prospectivity of the basin. Source rock occurrence, thickness, quality and maturity are mapped across the basin, and original source quality maps prior to the onset of generation are calculated. Source rock property mapping results and basin-specific kinetics are integrated with 1D thermal history models and a 3D basin model to create a regional multi-1D petroleum systems model for the basin. The modelling outputs quantify both the spatial distribution and total maximum hydrocarbon yield for 10 source rocks in the basin. Monte Carlo simulations are used to quantify the uncertainty associated with hydrocarbon yield and to highlight the sensitivity of results to each input parameter. The principal source rocks are the Permian coals and carbonaceous shales of the Gidgealpa Group, with highest potential yields from the Patchawarra Formation coals. The total generation potential of the Permian section highlights the significance of the basin as a world-class hydrocarbon province. The systematic workflow applied here demonstrates the importance of integrated geochemical and petroleum systems modelling studies as a predictive tool for understanding the petroleum resource potential of Australia’s sedimentary basins.
