Agree pixby, so many prospects, leads and only the tip of the iceberg really. Easy to overlook the Georgina Basin with all the talk of Phase 1 in the Pedirka and Phase 2 in the Amadeus :)
"It is clear that the basins operated by Central, the Amadeus, the Pedirka, the Lander Trough and parts of the Georgina Basin represent probably some of the least explored but prospective onshore basins in the world. The Pedirka Basin is considered to be analogous with the Cooper Basin in Australia while the Amadeus Basin, Lander Trough and the Southern Georgina Basin are considered to be analogous with the producing basins in Oman, the Eastern Siberian Platform and the Sichuan Basin in China by virtue of the inherent geology and structures present."
Lander Trough
"potential analogues of the oil and gas bearing Pacoota Sandstone of similar age in the Amadeus Basin further to the South........This drilling has shown the existence however of suitable source rocks, reservoirs and sealing horizons expected to deepen and thicken considerably into the deeper parts of the Trough contained within the Companys application areas. Two such wells had residual oil shows, Green Swamp 1 and Green Swamp 6."
Georgina Basin
"In EPA 132, Central is primarily targeting potential shallow channel sands and delta lobes of the Steamboat Sandstone member of the middle Cambrian Arthur Creek Formation at easy to drill relatively shallow depths of from 500 to 1,000m identified on neighbouring blocks from seismic and assumed to potentially run into EPA 133.
The channel sands arethought to be some 200m vertical thickness and up to 5km in width while the delta lobes may be of much greater volume. Clearly, such conceptual targets have multi-million barrel potential. Analogues of this sort of conceptual play type are to be found in the Jurassic Smackover Formation in the Oaks field in Louisiana. or in the Lena-Tunguska Province of Siberia"
For some good reading on Smackover and Lena-Tunguska to see some possible outcomes, we can only hope, see links below. Remembering they are" Analogues of this sort of conceptual play type". We need to prove the resource before getting too excited.
