The Oils of Australia

Created 16/10/2025

Updated 16/10/2025

The Oils of Australia Series comprises a trilogy of reports on the molecular (biomarker) and isotopic fingerprinting of Australia's oils and condensates compiled by Geoscience Australia and GeoMark Research of Houston. The series includes The Oils of Western Australia I (1996), The Oils of Eastern Australia (2002) and The Oils of Western Australia II (2005). These studies have geochemically characterised Australia's petroleum accumulations into genetically related families. These data sets provide the exploration industry with an understanding of the petroleum systems operating in Australia's basins, and indicate their importance to future exploration.
