Late Jurassic channels and associated fill, Eromanga Basin (ATP 259P), Queensland: A seismic stratigraphic study

Abstract

A seismic stratigraphic study of the southern Alkina Block (ATP 259P) in SW Queensland was undertaken in order to develop a stratigraphic framework in which the exploration potential of the area could be assessed. The area had been recognized (Moore and Pitt, 1984) as comprising a seismically complex series of channels, and contained fill that could provide new stratigraphic play opportunities. A model is herein proposed to explain the origin and occurrence of stratigraphic features of Late Jurassic-Early Cretaceous age.
