Funded Activity Summary
New molecular and isotopic biomarker approaches to establishing source, palaeoclimate, facies and thermal history of sedimentary organic matter. The ability to identify crude oil sources is a key issue in petroleum exploration, especially in Australia where vast gas deposits occur but very limited reserves of liquid hydrocarbons have been discovered. Discoveries of new petroleum reservoirs/provinces will benefit all Australians. Technological developments made will be extended to other Australian basins leading to more effective petroleum and mineral exploration strategies. The project described will also help our understanding of climate variability of past episodes and help predict what might happen in the future. The PhD scholars will foster high-calibre postgraduate research students suitable for employment in research or in industry.Funded Activity Details
