Abstract
Presented on Wednesday 22 May: Session 10
The Gippsland Basin is a prolific hydrocarbon basin, with gas and oil initially discovered in the Barracouta (1965) and Kingfish (1967) fields. Historically the basin was covered with a patchwork of legacy 3D seismic surveys acquired from 1980 to mid-2000s, shot with old technology resulting in sub-optimal imaging of the subsurface. CGG reprocessed 10,190 km2 of legacy 3D data as part of their ReGeneration project in 2018 and in 2020 acquired 8751 km2 of long offset, deep tow and undershot seismic data. With these data sets, Woodside has been able to extract images of the regional depositional systems through the basin’s evolution. These observations range in scale from interpretation of individual channels and channel belts to the distribution of the major shoreface systems and marine fans.
