Abstract
The Beetaloo Sub-basin is a concealed, composite depocenter and a component of a group of intra-cratonic Paleoproterozoic to Mesoproterozoic sedimentary basins collectively described as the Greater McArthur Basin. The Sub-basin hosts unconventional and conventional petroleum resources, particularly in the uppermost Roper Group where stacked play opportunities include liquids rich shale, dry gas shale and hybrid/ tight gas plays (Côté et al. 2018; Altmann et al., 2020).
Beetaloo次盆地是一个隐伏的复合沉积中心,是克拉通内古元古代至中元古代沉积盆地的组成部分,这些沉积盆地统称为大麦克阿瑟盆地。该子盆地拥有非常规和常规石油资源,特别是在最上层的Roper组,那里的叠合油气藏包括富液页岩、干气页岩和混合/致密气气藏(Côté et al. 2018;Altmann et al., 2020)。
