Full text

Abstract:

This thesis consists of six published papers. The present-day stress tensor has been determined using petroleum well data in the Gippsland and Otway Basins in Southeast Australia (Papers 1 and 4) and the Cooper Basin in Central Australia (Paper 5). In the Gippsland Basin, the present-day stress regime is transitional between one of reverse and strike-slip faulting and the maximum horizontal stress (SHmax) is oriented ~139°N. The present-day stress regime in the Victorian sector of the Otway Basin is also transitional between one of reverse and strike-slip faulting and SHmax is oriented ~135°N. Horizontal stresses are lower in the South Australian sector of the Otway Basin where the stress regime is one of strike-slip faulting and SHmax is oriented ~124°N. The orientations of SHmax in Southeast Australia are consistent with focal mechanism solutions, neotectonic structures and modelling of plate-boundary forces (Paper 4). Closure pressures from mini-frac injection tests are commonly used to determine the minimum horizontal stress (Shmin) magnitude. However, in high stress basins such as the Cooper and Gippsland Basins, these pressures may not reliably yield Shmin (Papers 2 and 5). In the Cooper Basin, high closure pressures (>18 MPa/km) were observed in tests where pressure-declines indicated complex hydraulic fracture growth. Closure pressures in these injections are unlikely to be representative of Shmin. They are believed to reflect the normal stress incident on pre-existing planes of weakness that are exploited by hydraulic fluid during the mini-frac injection (Paper 5). Sub-horizontal fabrics that are open at the wellbore wall were observed on image logs in the Cooper and Gippsland Basins (Papers 2 and 5). This fabric is believed to be at least partially responsible for the complex growth of hydraulic fractures observed in the Cooper Basin. The occurrence of these sub-horizontal fabrics and knowledge of rock strength have been used to constrain the magnitudes of SHmax and Shmin independently of mini-frac injections in the Cooper and Gippsland Basins (Papers 2 and 5). The present-day stress tensor is often quoted as a single gradient at a sedimentary basinor petroleum field-scale. Image logs and mini-frac data from Central and Southeast Australia indicate significant stress differences between stratigraphic units (Papers 3 and 5). Finite element modelling of the stress distribution between interbedded sands and shales in the Gippsland Basin indicates that stress is ‘partitioned’ to ‘hard’ lithological units in high stress areas. This accounts for the observation that borehole breakout only occurs in hard, cemented sandstones in the Gippsland Basin (Paper 3). A generic ‘mechanical stratigraphy’ derived from knowledge of wellbore failure (from image logs), rock strength and rock properties in individual rock units in the Cooper Basin allows an approximation of the present-day stress-state to be made directly from image-logs for individual rock units prior to mini-frac injection (Paper 6). This is important for predicting and understanding hydraulic fracture growth and containment. When considered together, the papers comprising this thesis provide significant new data on the orientation and magnitude of present-day stresses in Central and Southeast Australia. They also provide insight into the tectonic origin of those stresses and their distribution within sedimentary basins. In particular the papers develop and use new methods for constraining the present-day stress in regions of high tectonic stress. They also discuss implications for problems in petroleum development including wellbore stability and hydraulic fracturing.

Full text

Abstract:

The mechanisms of denudation over the last 25,000 yrs are studied for Wangrah Creek, a headwater drainage basin of the Murrumbidgee River, N.S.W. The controls on denudation of climate, humans, and autonomous geomorphic change, are then resolved for different times in the past, by comparison with independent palaeoenvironmental data. The study also puts the history of the basin since settlement, 150 yrs ago, in it's longer term context. The stratigraphy of alluvial and colluvial deposits is investigated together with monitoring of streamflow, slope runoff and sediment yield. Historical changes to denudation are analysed from maps, air photographs and the most recent deposits. Extensive radiocarbon dating of deposits is included. The stratigraphy and morphology of Limekiln Creek, a tributary valley within the larger basin, allows modes of deposition to be attributed to certain lithologies. In particular, mildly organic, fine grained alluvium is associated with swampy meadows. These are valley floors with no continuous channel, a permanently saturated surface, and a dense vegetation of sedges and grasses. Planar bedded sands and gravels, deposited across the valley floor, are associated with discontinuous gullies. There was a period of rapid hillslope erosion in Wangrah Creek between 20,000 and 25,000 yrs BP. This left thick deposits in all valleys. A period of intense valley erosion removed the Pleistocene deposits from the main valleys and started incision of smaller valleys. The reworking of Pleistocene deposits became the dominant source of sediment in swampy meadows and small alluvial fans throughout the Holocene. Surface wash and gully extension were the mechanisms of erosion. Pleistocene deposits were the dominant source of sediment because of very low amounts of runoff from slopes. Impermeable sub-soils probably caused greater runoff from Pleistocene deposits. The Holocene was a period of low denudation rates, of the order of 1 mm of ground lowering per 1,000 years, averaged across the basin. Three times during the Holocene, as swampy meadows spread up valleys, intrinsically unstable conditions developed and a short period of gully erosion ensued. Monitoring of streamflow, and a simple hydrological model indicate that as swampy meadows expanded, runoff from moderate sized storms increased and small channels developed in the valley. The small channels are believed to promote gully initiation during large floods. Gullies started to infill once swampy meadows developed on the gully floor. Sediment delivery downstream then decreased to very low levels. Environmental changes during the Holocene had no effect on mechanisms of denudation and little effect on rates of denudation. With European settlement, gully erosion became more widespread than since the Pleistocene, although many gullies have now stabilised. In Wangrah Creek, gully erosion after settlement was initiated by different mechanisms than during the Holocene, and was probably the result of site-specific disturbances to the valley floor. Monitoring of erosion since a fire, coupled with the stratigraphic study, show that mild bushfires, whether anthropogenic or natural, will not accelerate erosion in Wangrah Creek. Aboriginal burning of the landscape in the late Holocene had little effect on denudation.

Abstract:

This thesis concerns a sedimentological study of the Late Permian Broughton, Pheasants Nest and Erins Vale Formations, southern Sydney Basin, New South Wales, aimed at producing a palaeoenvironmental interpretation of these sequences. It is based on facies analysis of borecore data, vertical and lateral profiling of outcrop sequences, including architectural element analysis, and an integration of the results of these studies with previous work. The sequences studied begin with the interdigitating lower offshore silt of the upper Berry Siltstone and lower offshore sand-belt of the lower Broughton Formation, including progradational volcanic shoreface sequences. Sedimentation occurred in the 'Broughton Seaway' between the western cratonic landmass and a north-northeast oriented volcanic barrier in the east. River-derived meltwater underflows, massflows, tidally-driven longshore currents and migration of large sandwaves into the lower offshore sand-belt were the major depositional processes. The upper offshore sand-sheets of the middle Broughton Formation represent a widespread development of time-transgressive, above storm wave base, aggradational sedimentation. The progradational sandskirts of volcanic alluvial fans in the south (Jamberoo Sandstone Member) constructed a delta which was of a mixed type between a pyroclastic and alluvial fan delta. These kinds of deltas probably served as significant sources and depositional conduits for the offshore sediments which were dispersed mainly through wave action in a storm-dominated setting._ Submarine volcanic flows and associated shallow marine environments, and emerged volcanic islands with woodlands were coevally present in the southeast during the deposition of the Broughton Formation. The upper Broughton Formation is generally marked by a northeastward diachronous progradation of the southern shoreline, which progressively filled up the Broughton Seaway. Progradational evolution of the deltaic to barred shoreline, reflecting waning influence of the Gerringong volcanic barriers, was contemporaneous with the upper deltaic and distributary coastal zone sedimentation of the Pheasants Nest Formation. Actually, the periglacial braided subaerial fans and subaerial volcanism modelled for the lower and middle Pheasants Nest Formation greatly contributed to a northward progradation of the shoreline and retreat of the Broughton Seaway. With additional contributions from the western craton, a centripetal sediment transport pattern toward a northeast-oriented depocentre resulted. This meant development of a northeasterly flowing longitudinal drainage system. Physiographically, most of the former Broughton Seaway had now transformed into a broad valley between the volcanic and cratonic hinterlands. During the upper Pheasants Nest Formation time, extensive development of a flat, alluvial plain with an axial drainage pattern, low-lying coastal swamps and networks of high sinuosity, single channel or multiple channel anastomosing river systems is postulated. A shallow epeiric Erins Vale sea was caused by transgression across the topographically low-lying northeastern to northern alluvial plains of the Pheasants Nest Formation . The lower-middle Erins Vale Formation represents shoreface-offshore conditions in the east and north, including an oxygen-deficient, lower offshore regime (Kulnura Marine Tongue) - and shoreline fades of a transgressive barrier system in the west and south. Deposition during the upper Erins Vale Formation occurred through fan delta progradation from the western craton, which passed upward into the subaerial fan of the Marangaroo Conglomerate; a central and southern regressive barrier system and an energetic shoreface sand in the east which passed upward into the Wilton Formation. The upper Nowra Sandstone and lower Berry Siltstone form a transgressive systems tract. A sustained tectonic loading producing protracted subsidence was apparently the primary cause of basin subsidence. The upper Berry Siltstone and lower to middle Broughton Formation represent an overall highstand systems tract with portions of the upper Berry Siltstone and the lowest Broughton Formation showing interludes of minor transgressive pulses. This reflected a more stabilized base-level situation, following a reduction of basin subsidence rate. The upper Broughton Formation and lower-middle Pheasants Nest Formation constitute a lowstand systems tract, including early regressive phases represented by the upper Broughton Formation. It was related to the development of a foreswell on the basin margin and subsidence in the depocentre caused by the propagation of compressional energy from the orogen. The upper Pheasants Nest Formation indicates an early transgressive stage and the lower Erins Vale Formation, including the Kulnura Marine Tongue, is a transgressive systems tract. The middle Erins Vale Formation represents a highstand systems tract. Subsequently, the early regressive phases represented by the upper Erins Vale Formation, the lowstand wedge of the basal Wilton Formation and the Marangaroo Conglomerate constituted a lowstand systems tract. They developed as a result of erosion of a fores well produced on the cratonic margin. This study provides evidence in support of the Currarong Orogen. The Offshore Uplift is probably a preserved portion of the Currarong Orogen and the Newcastle Sub-basin was a likely depocentre for the Late Permian sequences. A periglacial climate with seasonal freezing and thawing had significant influence on sedimentation. Episodic meltwater discharge mobilized large volumes of volcaniclastic materials in spring (as lahars at times of large floods and/ or volcanic eruptions) and associated ice floes enroute to the sea. The major variables for the studied sequences in the southern Sydney Basin are constrained in this thesis, and comparative studies identified modern and ancient global examples that are broadly similar to the Late Permian sequences.
