摘要
Bonaparte Basin is an important oil and gas producing basin in Australia and one of the world-class gas-rich basins. It experienced several stages of rifting and the remobilization of the faults. The basin was filled with about 15 km thick sediments. Some sets of source rocks and reservoir were developed in Bonaparte Basin. Hydrocarbon is mainly reserved in the Permian, Triassic and Jurassic. Regionally, oil is mostly distributed in the Vulcan Sub-basin and the northwest of the basin. Condensate is distributed in the Sahul Platform and the northwest of the basin. Gas is mainly distributed in Calder Graben and Sahul Platform. Integrated petroleum geological analyses indicate that the basin has considerable exploration potential. The moderately explored Calder Graben, Malita Graben and the northwest of Petrel Sub-basin comprise the areas with the best exploration potential.
