Geoanalysis and Reporting – Chemostratigraphic Analysis of the Adavale Basin, Queensland

⁠⁠⁠As part of the Data Driven Discoveries Program, under the Australian Government’s Strategic Basin Plans, Geoscience Australia will combine new and old data to better understand the Adavale Basin in central-western Queensland. The initiative is part of the Cooper-Adavale Strategic Basin Plan - the third basin plan to be delivered under the Australian Government’s Gas Fired Recovery initiative. A key component of the Program is aimed at improving the understanding of the stratigraphy, unit correlations and basin resource prospectivity of the Adavale Basin.

As a component of this project, Geoscience Australia proposes to carry out chemostratigraphic analyses on ~10-15 wells across this basin, totalling up to 1500 core or cutting rock samples to better establish chemostratigraphic correlations based on changes in elemental and isotopic geochemistry.
