The Geological Survey of Western Australia (GSWA) routinely acquires new pre-competitive geoscience data to encourage exploration of the sedimentary basins of Western Australia. Stratigraphic drilling in underexplored regions aims to reveal the geothermal temperature and existence of reservoir, seal and hydrocarbon source rocks to aid prospectivity assessment for petroleum (oil, hydrocarbon gas, helium and hydrogen), coal, geothermal energy and CO2 sequestration.
