Asset Report
Australia North Carnarvon exploration basin
Report summary
The vast majority of exploration drilling has been in the Mesozoic Northwest Shelf play, where most discoveries have been made. However, over the last 10 years explorers have moved into the deepwater sector of the basin, resulting in large gas/condensate discoveries. Shelf exploration has also proven to be prolific and, in addition to the large gas volumes discovered, small, cheap oil developments have been quickly tied back to existing infrastructure.

The basin has modest prospective resource; monetising gas will be difficult, but the oil-prone play has greater value creation potential.
