Review of the Permian-Triassic boundary palynology in selected southern Bonaparte Basin wells.

Created 17/10/2025

Updated 17/10/2025

This report presents the results from detailed palynological analyses of both newly processed samples and re-analysis of existing slides across the upper Permian to Lower Triassic section from the following wells across the southern Bonaparte Basin: Tern 3, Tern 5, Ascalon 1A, Blacktip P1, Blacktip 2, Petrel 1A, Petrel 4, Petrel 5, Prometheus 1, Rubicon 1, Torrens 1. This palynological zonal work is supplemented with palynofacies analyses in a subset of wells. In addition to these new analyses, a review of the existing palynological data from open file palynological reports (in company well completion reports) was undertaken for both the immediately under- and overlying late Permian and earliest Triassic intervals in the newly sampled wells and offset wells of the Tern and Petrel gas fields, including the following wells: Petrel 2, Petrel 3, Petrel 6, Tern 1, Tern 2, Tern 4.
