Petroleum Systems Summary: Canning Basin

Created 16/10/2025

Updated 24/10/2025

This petroleum systems summary report provides a compilation of the current understanding of petroleum systems for the Canning Basin. The contents of this report are also available via the Geoscience Australia Portal at https://portal.ga.gov.au/, called The Petroleum Systems Summary Assessment Tool (Edwards et al., 2020). Three summaries have been developed as part of the Exploring for the Future (EFTF) program (Czarnota et al., 2020); the McArthur Basin, the Canning Basin, and a combined summary of the South Nicholson Basin and Isa Superbasin region. The petroleum systems summary reports aim to facilitate exploration by summarising key datasets related to conventional and unconventional hydrocarbon exploration, enabling a quick, high-level assessment of the hydrocarbon prospectivity of the region.
