A regional seismic synthesis of the offshore Gippsland Basin

Abstract

Structure contour maps compiled and synthesised from interpretive company data for top of Strzelecki Group/Basement, intra-Latrobe Group, and top of Latrobe Group seismic horizons give an indication of the formation and evolution of the Gippsland Basin during Early Cretaceous, and Late Cretaceous to Tertiary tectonic events. Comparison of the intra- and top of Latrobe Group mapping illustrates a change from a largely extensional to a compressive tectonic regime during the Eocene.
