Abstract:
This study integrates sequence stratigraphy of the Late Permian Toolachee Formation in the non-marine intracratonic Permian-Triassic Cooper Basin, Australia with 3-D seismic attribute analysis to predict the extent of depositional environments identified on wireline and well core data. The low resolution seismic data (tuning thickness 23 - 31 m) comprised of six seismic horizons allowed the successful testing of sequence stratigraphic interpretations of the productive Toolachee Formation that were based on wireline data. The analysis of 29 well logs and three 20 m core intervals resulted in the identification of eleven parasequences that comprise the building blocks of an overall transitional systems tract, characterised by a gradual increase in accommodation. The parasequences reflect cyclic transitions between braided and meandering fluvial systems as a result of fluctuations in sediment flux, possibly driven by Milankovitch climatic-forcing. The seismic horizon attribute maps image mostly the meandering fluvial bodies within the upper parts of the parasequences, but some maps image the lower amalgamated sand sheets and show no channel structures. Categorisation of the fluvial bodies in the overbank successions reflects a gradual decrease in sinuosity, channel width, and channel belt width up-section, supporting the overall increase in accommodation up-section. Similar acoustic impedance values for shales and sands do not suggest successful seismic forward modelling between the two lithologies. Geological interpretations suggest most imaged channel fill to be made up predominantly of fine sediments, as channel avulsion and abandonment is common and increases with time. Seismic forward modelling resulted in the interpretation of carbonaceous shale as a possible channel fill, supporting the geological interpretations. The three major identified fluvial styles; braided, meanders, and distributaries are potential targets for future exploration. Extensive sand sheets deposited from braided fluvial systems require structural traps for closure. Meandering and anastomosing channel systems represent excellent stratigraphic traps, such as the basal sands/gravels of laterally accreted point bars.

Abstract:
The primary objective of this study is to provide a greater understanding of the tectonic evolution of the Warburton, Cooper, Eromanga and Lake Eyre Basins in central Australia. However, this study additionally attempts to provide a greater understanding of lineaments. This study compares lineament data with a traditional tectonic analysis in order to evaluate lineaments and to best understand the tectonic evolution of the region.

Despite the prolific hydrocarbon and geothermal potential within the Cooper-Eromanga Basin, the thermal history of the region has largely remained elusive. This study presents new fission track, U-Pb and rare earth geochemical data for apatite samples from five wells within the Cooper-Eromanga Basin. Based on these data, thermal history models were constructed and an apatite provenance study was carried out. The apatite samples taken from the upper Eromanga Basin sediments (Winton, Mackunda and Cadna Owie Formations) yielded a dominant population of early Cretaceous and minor population of late Permian – Triassic apatite ages that are (within error) equivalent to corresponding fission track age populations. Furthermore, the obtained Cretaceous apatite ages correlate well with the stratigraphic ages for each analysed formation, suggesting (1) little time lag between apatite exposure in the source region and sediment deposition; and (2) that no significant (>~100oC) reheating occurred after deposition. The apatites were likely distally sourced from an eastern Australian volcanic arc, (e.g. the Whitsunday Igneous Association), mixed with sediment sources from the New England and/or Mossman Orogens. Deeper samples (>2000m) from within the Cooper Basin (Toolachee Formation) yielded (partial) reset fission track ages, indicating heating to temperatures exceeding ~80-100oC after deposition. The associated thermal history models are broadly consistent with previous studies and suggest that maximum temperatures were reached at ~95-70 Ma as a result of progressive heating by sedimentary burial and/or radiogenic basement heat loss. The interpretation of subsequent late Cretaceous – Palaeogene cooling remains more enigmatic and may be related with enhanced thermal conductivity as a response to aquifer flow and/or cementation. Four of the five wells recorded a Neogene heating event: however, more data would be required to assess the significance of this more recent thermal perturbation.

Abstract:
The Eromanga Basin, a major Jurassic-Cretaceous intracratonic basin in eastern Australia, and the underlying Permo-Triassic Cooper Basin are examined from two perspectives - the subsidence history and the present day thermal state.The backstripping method for subsidence analysis is assessed for sensitivity to the porosity/depth relationship and it is shown that the overall shape of subsidence curves are not affected, although the absolute magnitude of the values will be different. Assumptions regarding palaeo bathymetry, sea level variations and isostatic models are likely to introduce more significant errors, especially to individual values. Tectonic subsidence curves were obtained for 40 wells in the region. The Permian was a period of dominantly fault controlled subsidence and the Triassic-Jurassic subsidence phase is consistent with a thermally driven mechanism. It is not possible to tightly constrain the thermal time constant (50-200 m.y.) or the time of initiation of subsidence (260-180 Ma) of this latter subsidence phase. An unconformity in the Late Triassic is attributed to processes at the eastern plate margin superimposed on the subsidence history as rather than a change in the formation mechanism of the two basins. During the Cretaceous the simple subsidence pattern was interrupted and the subsidence rate increased rapidly. This is attributed to a relatively rapid influx of sediment from an active volcanic arc to the east of the region. A simple model of excess sediment influx is presented which predicts the the observed sediment thicknesses and explains the departure from the thermal subsidence trend. The model predicts a topography up to 200 m above the present day observations and an additional subsidence mechanism needs to be invoked, possibly related to continental margin rifting or phase transformations beneath the basin. This mechanism is~ however, poorly constrained from the available information. The proposed excess sedimentation model provides an explanation for the transgressiveregressive nature of the Cretaceous sequence without appealing to global sea level changes or continent wide uplift. As vitrinite reflectance observations are commonly the only available constraint on the thermal evolution of a sedimentary basin. an examination of the discriminatory potential of such observations was made. An inversion procedure was developed and results with synthetic data suggest that the early heat flow history of the Eromanga/Cooper Basins could not be adequately constrained. The present day geothermal gradient in the central Eromanga Basin region is up to 60"C/km, considerably higher than average continental values. Divided bar measurements on core samples, combined with downhole lithology information lead to a depth averaged thermal conductivity value of 2.0-2.2 wm-1K-1. However, unlike the subsidence analysis, estimates of the thermal conductivity are sensitive to the assumed lithologies. A reasonable range for the heat flow is about 75-120 m wm-2. In some wells higher heat flow is associated with granitic basement. Numerical modelling of the steady state thermal regime implies that much of the central southern Cooper Basin is underlain by granite. Individual granites have been previously dated at between 10 and 60 m. y. older than the oldest sediments and provide evidence for a thermal event prior to the commencement of subsidence. One 39 Ar I 40 Ar age spectrum for a basement granite presently at nearly 200"C supports conclusions previously drawn from vitrinite reflectance and, more recently, apatite fission track analysis that the present day elevated thermal state is a relatively recent(< 10 Ma) phenomenon. No detailed examination of this feature was undertaken but qualitatively it is considered that advective, as opposed to conductive, heat transfer is active as there is no topographic expression of a deep heat source.
