Between 3 May 2012 to 24 June 2012 Geoscience Australia undertook two major surveys off the coast of the Northern Territory in the Petrel Sub-Basin. The data acquisition was funded through the National Low Emissions Coal Initiative (NLECI) and the Petrel Sub-basin was selected in particular as it has been identified as a prospective area for CO2 storage.
These surveys collected a range of data, including industry standard high resolution seismic reflection data, multibeam data and sub-bottom profiler data. This data is available for purchase as raw or final products.
