A Multidisciplinary Resource Assessment of the Adavale Basin: Part 1 Conventional and Unconventional Resources

The Adavale Basin underlies the Galilee, Eromanga and Lake Eyre basins in central Queensland and has a sedimentary record spanning the Early Devonian to Late Devonian/Early Carboniferous. A range of depositional environments existed across the Adavale Basin, from dry alluvial plains to restricted marine embayments. The interplay of these environments over time has set up conventional and unconventional hydrocarbon opportunities, including the Gilmore gas discovery.
