Description
ABSTRACT
The Beetaloo sub-basin is a Mesoproterozoic to Neoproterozoic sedimentary basin that overlies the western extension of the McArthur Basin. The basin is bounded by several prominent structural elements including the Walton High to the North, the Bauhinia Shelf to the East, and the Helen Springs High to the South. The western margin is defined by the Daly Waters Arch, which separates the Beetaloo sub-basin from the Elsey Gravity Low, also referred to as the Gorrie Sub-basin.
The target source rock intervals of the Beetaloo sub-basin are found within the Mesoproterozoic Roper Group, a thick sedimentary package consisting of quartz sandstones, siltstones, and organic-rich siliceous mudstones. The Velkerri Formation (~1.4 billion years old) of the Roper Group has been identified as a prospective unconventional exploration target.
