The role of seal integrity in the Vlaming Sub-basin (Perth Basin) for preservation of hydrocarbon accumulations

The offshore Vlaming Sub-basin, located in the southern part of the Perth Basin, is a Mesozoic depocentre estimated to contain over 12 km of sediments. It has several potential source rock intervals, good reservoir and seal pairs and an active petroleum system. The reasons for a lack of exploration success in this basin have been re-assessed by analysing fault reactivation and signs of hydrocarbon seepage. A recently completed study integrated structural mapping with analysis of fluid inclusion results. New data and interpretations show that a number of synrift faults with signs of reactivation in seismic data also have Fluid Inclusion Stratigraphy (FIS) anomalies above the regional seal. Many previously identified plays rely on the post-rift South Perth Shale for a seal. Our analysis suggests that many faults were reactivated after the deposition of the South Perth Shale, with some showing signs of present-day reactivation. Reactivated faults provided migration pathways for generated hydrocarbons; therefore, no accumulations were formed at these locations. The study provides insight into the location of leaky structures and areas with potentially valid plays in the Vlaming Sub-basin.
