Abstract
Models for basin evolution and natural fracture development often contain many uncertainties. Multiscale approaches to structural analysis assist in reducing these by providing checkpoints for structural evolution to better constrain the development of paleostress phases through time. In this study, we integrate the analysis of calcite twins, magnetic fabrics, stylolites and natural fractures at Castle Cove in the eastern Otway Basin, producing a five-phase model for stress evolution consisting of: phase 1 ~NW–SE Mid-Cretaceous strike-slip or compression; phases 2 and 3 Late Cretaceous extension, coinciding with the development of ~NW–SE and ~NE–SW striking extensional fracture sets; phase 4 ~NE–SW strike-slip and compression, representing an enigmatic period of stress evolution with respect to the current understanding of the Otway Basin; and phase 5, present day ~NW–SE strike-slip stress. The results contribute to a 4D structural history construction for the eastern Otway Basin and suggest that the evolution of the region may require reassessing in order to determine the timing and nature of the detected ~NE–SW oriented compressional event. This study also demonstrates how the use of a calcite stress inversion technique can assist in providing mechanical checkpoints for the evolution of complex natural fracture networks, which can easily be expanded within the sub-surface.
Keywords: calcite, fracture, Otway Basin, paleostress, tectonic.

Dr David Kulikowski recently completed his PhD in structural geology and geophysics from the Australian School of Petroleum, University of Adelaide. His PhD was titled "Modern Structural Analysis of Subsurface Provinces: A Case Study on the Cooper and Eromanga Basins, Australia" and involved the analysis of micro-, meso- and macros-scale data obtained through geophysics or core analysis. He produced nine first author papers (published in highly respected journals, such as Tectonics, Marine & Petroleum Geology, Journal of Structural Geology, Australian Journal of Earth Sciences and Geophysical Prospecting, to name a few) and contributed to several other papers as a co-author. He was awarded the Dean's Commendation for Doctoral Thesis Excellence and was nominated by both of his PhD reviewers for the University Doctoral Research Medal.
