Brief description
3D seismic survey polygon area. The data within this layer only contains high level information regarding the individual surveys, not the actual survey. NOPIMS data is supplied by the petroleum industry. NOPIMS data is only offshore petroleum that belongs to the Commonwealth. A two dimensional (3D) seismic survey is a method of exploration used to capture seismic data beneath Earth's surface. 3D seismic provides continuous information of the subsurface within the extent of the survey. transect line of information in the survey. This method sends energy waves into the Earth to detect changes in the subsurface geology. The rock formations in the subsurface geology reflect the waves back to detector, where they are captured over the desired timeframe and converted into a seismic image. Depending on the age the survey was conducted will depend on the method used to capture the information. Older records more likely used explosives to capture seismic data whereas newer surveys use compressed air.Lineage
Statement: NOPIMS data is supplied by the Petroleum Industry. The well survey data has been directly derived from the NOPIMS repository using the X,Y coordinates. The seismic survey data has been derived by the service provider for the NOPIMS repository and delivered to Geoscience Australia. This service is a snap shot in time and will move to a updatable dataset at a later stage. There may be some surveys that are within NOPIMS that are not included within this service.text: westlimit=111.02; southlimit=-41.69; eastlimit=149.39; northlimit=-9.31; projection=GDA94 (EPSG:4283)
