Onshore Gippsland CSG Potential – Myth or Massive? The onshore Gippsland hydrocarbon province has always been a poor cousin to the prolific offshore discoveries of gas and oil. It has been, however, the powerhouse of Victoria driven by the huge open-cut brown coal deposits in the Latrobe Valley. Following conventional gas discoveries in the Strzelecki Group at Trifon, Gangell and Wombat, attention turned to the shallower, but deeper than the mined seams, Traralgon brown coals as candidates for methane extraction…

Revisiting the rocks and seismic discovers turbidites and a new exploration play in the Penola Trough, Otway Basin, South Australia Sharon Tiainen, South Australia’s Department for Energy and Mining (DEM), and Rob Kirk, Consultant Abstract This rock-based and seismic-backed turbidite interpretation provides an alternative to the current alluvial channel/crevasse splay model for reservoir deposition and as such presents a new exploration play. Further the reservoirs immediate lateral association with gas/oil-prone source rocks and seals in the clay-rich lithologies potentially provide for…
