Lithofacies and Sequence stratigraphic Framework of the Kockatea Shale, Dandaragan Trough, Perth Basin

Lithofacies and Sequence stratigraphic Framework of the Kockatea Shale, Dandaragan Trough, Perth Basin

Initial studies affirm large-scale shale-gas potential for the Permo-Triassic intervals of the Perth Basin. The Dandaragan Trough, as a major depocentre in the basin and with the highest number of wells intersecting these intervals, has possibly the greatest shale-gas potential in the area. The prim...
