Northern Territory

An independent multi-client view of the Beetaloo Basin’s Potential

The MacArthur Basin, Northern Territory, Australia, with a P50 Gas-In-Place for the Velkerri B-shale of 500Tcf, could contain one of the largest unconventional petroleum plays in the world.

The 2017 Amungee NW-1H well drilled by Origin indicated a material gas resource is present. With several wells drilled since then, the commercial potential of the basin is emerging.

Molyneux Advisors have collated, interpreted and catalogued the best available geological and geophysical datasets to generate an independent view of the Northern Territory’s hydrocarbon potential.

Available Now

Basin framework:
A consistent data package and independent interpretation focussed on the Beetaloo sub-basin.

Deliverables:

  • Regional, time and depth, horizons and faults from top to bottom of the stratigraphy.
  • Each horizon mapped across all available 2D seismic surveys totalling c. 11,000 line km.
  • Horizons delivered with a consistent 2D seismic database including 38 wells.
  • Structural interpretation.
  • Integrated geological and geochemical datasets compiled from public sources.

The project will accelerate exploration and development of the Northern Territory’s petroleum and mineral resources.
