The Offshore Canning Area Prospectivity Study spans over 130,000 km of Searcher’s refined Openseis data and 5,000 km of North West Shelf SuperTie Reprocessing, delivering an unprecedented level of data quality and illuminates the immense oil and gas potential of the region. New processing and interpretation methods reveal a thriving petroleum system in the Lower Triassic, as evidenced by the significant discoveries along the Phoenix-Dorado trend, the largest oil discovery Australia has seen in the last four decades.

The data analysis doesn’t stop there. Notably, vast potential awaits exploration not just around the Phoenix South and Dorado areas but also up-dip on the flanks of the basin. In addition to Triassic plays, the study reveals that Jurassic and Cretaceous sequences hold immense untapped potential. Available data over the Broome Platform reveals multiple reservoir/seal pairs, mirroring the accumulations found in the Stag, Gwydion, and Cornea fields in other parts of the region. The study offers strategically timed and critical insights to aid companies in comprehending the implications of these discoveries and the prospectivity of the Bedout, Rowley, and Oobagooma Sub-basins along with adjacent platform areas, setting a robust foundation for further detailed studies.
