Brief description

The Birrindudu Basin is a region of focus for the second phase of the Geoscience Australia’s Exploring for the Future (EFTF) program (2020–2024). The Paleo to Mesoproterozoic Birrindudu Basin is an underexplored frontier basin located in northwestern Northern Territory and northeastern Western Australia. Interpretation of industry seismic data indicates it contains strata of similar age to the prospective McArthur Basin, South Nicholson region and Mount Isa Province, but remains comparatively poorly understood. Furthermore, much of the age of the stratigraphy of the Birrindudu Basin, particularly the younger stratigraphic units, and regional correlations to the greater McArthur Basin remains provisional and speculative. 

This report presents data from Rock-Eval pyrolysis analyses undertaken by Geoscience Australia on selected rock samples to establish their total organic carbon content, hydrocarbon-generating potential and thermal maturity from 178 drill core samples from six drill holes intersecting units of the Birrindudu Basin including: 99VRNTGSDD1, 99VRNTGSDD2, WLMB001B, LBD2, LMDH4, and ANT003.
