N2  - The Esso?Hematite Mackerel oilfield (Fig. 1) is located approximately 70 kilometres offshore in the Gippsland Basin, southeastern Australia, in 75 m?90 m of water. It is one of a number of fields in this basin in which the reservoir occurs at an unconformity at the top of the Paleocene?Eocene Latrobe Group. The trap has been formed within a topographic erosional feature, sealed by calcareous shales and mudstones of the Oligocene Lakes Entrance Formation. The Latrobe Group within the Mackerel Field consists of a generally massive sandstone section with few fine grained lithologies. The sandstones have high porosities and consequently, have excellent productivity.
