Highlights
Work program bids close 2 April 2015• Proximal to the Blacktip, Petrel, Tern, Frigate
and Prometheus/Rubicon gas accumulations
• Proximal to the Blacktip pipeline and the nearly completed Ichthys pipeline
• Shallow water depths, ~50 m
• Proven plays in anticlines, tilted fault blocks and structural/stratigraphic traps
• Multiple potential oil- and gas-prone source rocks and active petroleum systems in the region
• Special Notices apply, refer to Guidance Notes
Release Area W14-1 is located in the Joseph Bonaparte Gulf, less than 20 km offshore, and approximately 400 km from Darwin. Area W14-1 is in the vicinity of the Petrel, Tern, Frigate, Blacktip and Prometheus/Rubicon gas accumulations. The Blacktip field commenced production via the Blacktip pipeline in 2009.
Release Area W14-1 straddles the western Petrel Sub-basin and the eastern Londonderry High in the southern Bonaparte Basin. The Torrens 1 well, with both oil and gas shows, is within the Release Area. Proven Permian petroleum systems in the region have charged numerous gas accumulations. There is also a known oil- and gas-prone lower Carboniferous petroleum system in the southern Petrel Sub-basin, with Bonaparte Formation (Langfield Group equivalent) and Tanmurra Formation (Weaber Group) source rocks. Sufficient deep drilling has not been undertaken in the western Petrel Sub-basin to fully evaluate the western extent of this older petroleum system, although Marina 1 and Lesueur 1 both had gas and oil shows in the Carboniferous–lower Permian succession close to the Release Area. The Release Area offers a range of play types including horst blocks and rotated fault blocks, as well as inversion-related anticlines. Stratigraphic traps are represented by pinch-outs and truncations across unconformities. Infrastructure in the region is expanding and will facilitate development of any new discovery.

Infrastructure and marketsRelease Area W14-1 is in close proximity to the Blacktip, Petrel, Tern and Frigate gas accumulations in the Petrel Sub-basin, and the Prometheus/Rubicon gas accumulation on the Londonderry High. The Release Area is also close to the Blacktip Pipeline and the nearly complete Ichthys Pipeline.
Critical risksThe identification of good quality reservoirs in suitably sized traps with access to active oil- and gas-prone source kitchens is required. Preservation of hydrocarbons following significant Triassic uplift and erosion, and some Miocene reactivation is a risk, although less pronounced in the eastern Londonderry High and western Petrel Sub-basin. Given that oil shows occur throughout Carboniferous and Permian sediments in wells in the nearby southern Petrel Basin, further investigation of seal integrity is required. Reservoir and source rock quality is variable and poorly understood in older units locally, with the preservation of porosity and permeability within Carboniferous reservoirs and the Keyling Formation a significant risk where intersected in the Petrel Sub-basin. The extent of the Devonian–Carboniferous succession on the far western flank of the sub-basin is uncertain, with Marina 1 and Lesueur 1 being the most westerly wells to have intersected these older reservoirs and source rocks.
