OTWAY BASIN
Vic/099(01) and Vic/099(02)
ONSHORE ACREAGE RELEASE
Basin Modelling, Thermal and Maturation History studies

Vic/O99(1) Study:
Seven wells - Lindon-1, Digby-1, Glenaulin-2, Heathfield-1, Heywood-10,13, Mocamboro-11
and at least 1 key pseudo-well location.

Vic/O99(2) Study:
Ten wells - Fahley-1, Fahley-2, Henke-1, Najaba-1, Squatter-1, Wilson-1, Digby-1, Heathfield-1,
Mocamboro-11 and at least 2 key pseudo-well locations.

Each Study includes new AFTA, open file and new VR results (by Keiraville Konsultants) as the basis of constrained thermal and maturation histories and provides comprehensive discussion of the timing of hydrocarbon generation as a key focus for exploration.

WHAT DO WE KNOW ?

1.   OIL PRONE SOURCE ROCKS ARE PRESENT
2.   POST-PALEOCENE GENERATION IS POSSIBLE
3.   KNOWN SOURCE ROCKS ARE WITHIN THE EARLY CRETACEOUS
4.   SIGNIFICANT VERTICAL MIGRATION IS POSSIBLE

KEY ISSUES ADDRESSED IN THE STUDY

1.   OPTIMUM TIMING FOR HYDROCARBON GENERATION
2.   EARLY CRETACEOUS HEAT FLOW
3.   MID-CRETACEOUS UPLIFT AND EROSION
4.   TERTIARY UPLIFT AND EROSION
5.   EARLY CRETACEOUS UPLIFT AND EROSION
