The Application of High-Definition Geological Expression Workflows to Improve the Understanding of a Carbonate Reservoir, NW Australia

O.R. Lee¹ and L. Gomez-Martinez⁵

Abstract

The petroleum potential of NW Australia has led to the region becoming the fourth largest LNG producer in the world: currently accounting for more than 2% of the worlds’ gas reserves, NW Australia has an excess of 6608 tcf. Our understanding of the subsurface is often poor and the complex geological histories remain elusive. This paper shows how using data-driven interpreter-guided Geological Expression workflows can better reveal the stratigraphic component of geology and brings a more comprehensive understanding to exploration and development targets.
