ABSTRACT

The fluvio-deltaic Moogooloo Sandstone is an attractive petroleum exploration target because it is favorably positioned with respect to source and seal units. To assess and predict reservoir quality distribution in the Moogooloo Sandstone and laterally equivalent Keogh Formation, a petrological and petrophysical calibration data set was established by acquiring extensive core petrology, porosity, permeability, and thermal maturity data.
