  • Ancient Weathering Zones, Pedocretes and Palaeosols on the Australian Precambrian Shield and in Adjoining Sedimentary Basins: a Review
    Journal of the Royal Society of Western Australia, 89:57–82, 2006 Ancient weathering zones, pedocretes and palaeosols on the Australian Precambrian shield and in adjoining sedimentary basins: a review J B Firman 14 Giddens Court, North Lake, WA 6163 Manuscript received June 2005; accepted May 2006 Abstract A stratigraphic approach is used in this review of ancient weathering zones, mottled zones, pedocretes and palaeosols on the Australian Precambrian Shield and in adjoining sedimentary basins. Pedogenic features identified in the landscape during regional stratigraphic mapping have been traced along the western margin of the Australian Precambrian Shield. The weathered zones, pedocretes, mottled zones and palaeosols identified in South Australia and elsewhere have been extended into the Perth Basin where there are correlative conformities. The weathered zones, pedocretes, mottled zones and palaeosol units are described in a geochronological framework from Palaeozoic to Late Cainozoic. The weathering products of the Palaeozoic include the Playfair Weathering Zone. Mesozoic sequences include the Arckaringa Weathering Zone (a pallid zone in laterite profiles) and the San Marino mottled zone equivalent. The units taken together have been said by some authors to form “a distinctive basal horizon which underlies all true laterites”. The laterite in this sense refers to the ferricrete forming a caprock on older materials. Early and Middle Cainozoic sequences include bauxite, the Greenmount Ferricrete and the Calingiri Silcrete. Late Cainozoic sequences contain the Jumperdine Ferricrete and the Karoonda Soil (which in some places is a syndepositional silcrete), and the mottled zones of lateritic podzolic soils. The weathered zones, pedocretes and palaeosols were formed under different climatic regimes.

Abstract Introduction The southwest margin of Australia is a complex and The Palaeozoic to Mesozoic southwest Australian margin relatively poorly studied offshore continental region that (Fig. 1) is an under-explored region of the continental margin includes the Perth and Mentelle basins. Plate reconstruction of Australia and includes the Perth and Mentelle basins, as well models, in conjunction with regional seismic and potential as the Naturaliste and Wallaby plateaus. Previous regional- field data, demonstrate that the margin comprises three major scale studies have shown that margin orientation and geometry segments: the normal to oblique Mentelle and southern vary markedly along strike (Borissova, 2002; Bradshaw et al., Perth margins and the Wallaby-Zenith Transform Margin. 2003; Norvick, 2004). As the architecture of rifted margins Margin architecture and overlying basin geometries change exerts a first-order control on basin location and the patterns markedly across segment boundaries and the patterns of of sedimentary fill, a better regional understanding of margin structural reactivation during basin development indicate a evolution is essential for further studies of Perth and Mentelle strong basement control on margin evolution. Linking plate basin development and petroleum prospectivity. reconstructions and seismic studies provides new insights A series of recently published studies provide fresh insights into Early Cretaceous basin evolution, including the relative into the architecture and tectonic evolution of Australia’s timing of breakup within each sub-basin, the timing of southwest margin.

  • Shale Gas Prospectivity Studies in the Perth Basin, Western Australia
    School of Chemical and Petroleum Engineering Department of Petroleum Engineering Shale Gas Prospectivity Studies in the Perth Basin, Western Australia Hanieh Jafary Dargahi This thesis is presented for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy of Curtin University May 2014 Declaration To the best of my knowledge and belief this thesis contains no material previously published by any other person except where due acknowledgment has been made. This thesis contains no material which has been accepted for the award of any other degree or diploma in any university. Signature: …………………………………………. Date: ………………………... i Summary The Permian Carynginia Formation and the Late Triassic Kockatea Shale are prospective shale gas resources in the Perth Basin. A thorough knowledge of some of the key properties of these formations helps to better understand about the limits on the distribution and the volume of gas along with those reservoir characteristics having an effect on gas production and stimulation techniques. The properties included are stratigraphy, structure, lithofacies/rock types, hydrocarbon potential through identifying the organic carbon content and thermal maturity, reservoir quality, ability to fracture/effective fracture stimulation, and sweet spots. The structural history of both formations is covered by the occurrence of the extension in the Early Permian. The thinning of Permian Carynginia Formation to the south indicates a limited sediment supply, whereas the thinning of Triassic Kockatea Shale to the north is interpreted by the non- deposition or the occurrence of Early Jurassic erosion. The dominance of argillaceous marine sediments in the Carynginia Formation suggests deposition under stable conditions of subsidence, along with the abundant accommodation space.
