Geoscience Australia is leading the regional evaluation of potential subsurface mineral, energy and groundwater resources, through the Exploring for the Future (EFTF) program. Understanding the subsurface stratigraphy and depositional systems is fundamental for any exploration activities. The major challenge for exploration in northern and southern Australian onshore basins is the limited seismic data coverage; however, maximising the use of data in existing wells is a valuable source of information from which to gain insights into prospectivity. Data from 142 wells from the Canning, Amadeus, Georgina and Officer basins in the Centralian Superbasin have been used to evaluate the subsurface g...

The UK became a net importer of natural gas in 2004 and by 2020 will import up to 90% of its requirements, leaving it vulnerable to increasing energy bills and risk of disruption to supply. New pipelines to Europe and improvements to interconnectors will meet some demand, but Government recognises the need for increased gas storage capacity: best met by the construction of underground storage facilities. Energy security has also raised the likelihood of a new generation of coal-fired power-stations, which to be environmentally viable, will require clean-coal technologies with near-zero greenhouse gas emissions. A key element of this strategy will be underground CO2 storage. This volume reviews the technologies and issues involved in the underground storage of natural gas and CO2, with examples from the UK and overseas. The potential for underground storage of other gases such as hydrogen, or compressed air linked to renewable sources is also reviewed.
Over the past two decades there has been increased interest in the availability of hydrocarbon charge through a better understanding of petroleum geochemistry and the identification and characterization of petroleum source rocks. These rocks are geochemically unique and form under specific sets of circumstances. This book brings together both geologic and geochemical data from fifteen petroleum source rocks, ranging in age from Devonian to Eocene, that would otherwise be widely dispersed in the literature or available only in proprietary corporate databases. Much of this information, presented in either a tabular or graphic fashion, provides the petroleum explorationist and the geochemist with a framework to establish relationships among various geochemical indices and depositional settings.
"This Record is a compilation of 169 new petroleum analyses for the Canning Basin, Western Australia, to supplement the 200 analyses reported by Ghori and Haines (2006). It comprises data analysed for the Geological Survey of Western Australia (GSWA) and new open-file data archived at GSWA. All data are available online through the Western Australia Petroleum and Geothermal Information Management System (WAPIMS)."--Introduction, p. 1.
