The petroleum prospectivity of the northern Perth Basin has been assessed by Geoscience Australia (GA) as part of the Australian Government’s Offshore Energy Security Program, in support of the 2011 offshore acreage release. This assessment includes the first published synthesis of data from fourteen new field wildcat wells drilled in this part of the basin since the Cliff Head 1 discovery (2001), and the interpretation of new regional 2D seismic data acquired during GA survey 310. Most petroleum accumulations in the northern Perth Basin are associated with Permian and Triassic source and reservoir intervals, and are found onshore and nearshore (ie. Cliff Head, Frankland, Dunsborough and Perseverance discoveries). In addition to the technical and commercial successes, numerous wells in the offshore part of the basin have intersected residual oil columns indicative of trap breach. New and legacy palynological data from Permian to Cretaceous strata in offshore wells have been used to provide age constraints for a sequence stratigraphic framework for this part of the basin. New seismic data show Permo-Triassic strata that are stratigraphic equivalents of the productive onshore and nearshore Perth Basin petroleum system, also occur within Permian half-graben in the outer Abrolhos and Houtman sub-basins. Source rock, oil stain and fluid inclusion sampling from this interval suggest that the proven onshore petroleum system is also effective in the offshore. A refined tectono-stratigraphic model for the offshore basin provides insights into basin evolution, prospectivity and contributing factors driving trap breach. Geochemical sampling in the context of the new detailed sequence framework, including from recently dredged rock samples from incised canyons, has also provided insight into the potential effectiveness of a Jurassic/Cretaceous petroleum system in the Houtman and Zeewyck sub-basins.

AbstractBikaner–Nagaur basin is located in the northwestern part of India and lies on the rising flank of Punjab platform of Middle Indus basin in Pakistan. Existence of Neoproterozoic-Cambrian petroleum system was confirmed by the exploration activities in the western periphery of the basin, whereas vast areas of central and eastern parts remain unexplored. Knowledge of petroleum system in this unexplored part of the basin is limited due to non-availability of data. Recently, 2525 line km of regional 2D seismic data acquired for the first time by Government of India under National Seismic Program (NSP) unlocks the opportunity for comprehensive understanding of subsurface geology in unexplored part of the basin. Present work aims to interpret recently acquired 2D seismic data and integrate with available surface (outcrop) data, gravity and well data (drilled in western part of basin) for unfolding the petroleum system elements, structural configurations and stratigraphic features in the hitherto central-eastern part of the basin. Two Neoproterozoic-Cambrian hydrocarbon plays: (1) Jodhpur and (2) overlying Bilara/Hanseran Evaporite Group (HEG) were envisaged. Both the plays depicted distinctive seismic characteristics, structural alignment and distribution of reservoir, source and seal. Fluvio-deltaic sandstone within Jodhpur group and shallow marine fractured dolomites within Bilara/HEG showed potential reservoir characteristics whereas organic rich laminated dolomites, stromatolites and argillaceous litho-units within Bilara/HEG group have been predicted as prospective source. The Halite layers within HEG group were considered as effective regional seals. Fault bounded anticlinal structures associated with Cambrian compression have been identified as the main entrapment for hydrocarbon accumulation. The basin witnessed long tectonostratigraphic history with two major compressional phases Structures formed by Cambrian compression are likely to be charged as the time of source maturity and peak expulsion was later, during early Mesozoic period. Overall, the study indicates new opportunities and potential accumulation of hydrocarbon in the unexplored part of the basin.

A sequence stratigraphic analysis was carried out on the sedimentary packages of parts of the Bengal Basin hydrocarbon province. This paper focuses on the identification of petroleum system of Srikail Gas Field within eastern folded belt of Bengal basin using sequence stratigraphic concept. Three strike and five dip seismic lines are used in this work and data analysis is done using Petrel 2015 software. Seismic line-2 (SK-2) of Srikail is good in resolution and is used here only for identifying potential petroleum system. Seven sequence boundaries were identified on the basis of onlap and reflection truncation. The result of the interpreted sequence boundary has revealed that all the elements which are required to generate a potential prospect are present in the study area. Fine grained sediments deposited during the rising and lowering of sea level might act as a potential source rock. Time contour maps of the study area have revealed that the NWSE trending anticlinal Srikail structure is largely affected by shale filled channel in the crestal and western flank. The channel filled shale is later acting as a seal on north and western part of the structure. Erosional remnants truncated against shale fill canyon is acting as prospective reservoirs in the Srikail gas field. The NW-SE trending anticlinal structure and shale fill canyon help this sand as potential traps for hydrocarbon accumulation. Hence the petroleum system of the study area become very prospective in terms of hydrocarbon accumulation.Bangladesh J. Sci. Res. 30(1&2): 1-9, December-2017

Composition and origin of Visean–Serpukhovian deposits of the Southern part of the Moscow syncline based upon generalizations of our own results and analysis of published and unpublished data were specified. The levels of karst-influenced rocks correspond to the shallowest biogenic carbonate organogeneous-clastic sediments of the initial and final phases of the eustatic cycle, i.e. the beginning of the transgression (the transgressive system of the tracts) and the end of the regression (the second half of the high-standing tract). In the karst cavities alluvial sands of the Oka river were found. A generalized model of the sequence was proposed and a sequential-stratigraphic interpretation of the studied section was carried out.
