Adavale Basin 3D Geological Model - Petrel Dataset

All commercially produced hydrogen worldwide is presently stored in salt caverns. The only known thick salt accumulations in eastern Australia are found in the Boree Salt of the Adavale Basin in central Queensland. The Boree Salt consists predominantly of halite and is considered to be suitable for hydrogen storage. In 2021, Geoscience Australia contracted Intrepid Geophysics to perform 3D geological modelling of the Adavale Basin, particularly interested in modelling the Boree Salt deposit in the region. The developed 3D model has identified three main salt bodies of substantial thicknesses (up to 555 m) that may be suitable for salt cavern construction and hydrogen storage. These are the only known salt bodies in eastern Australia and represent potentially strategic assets for underground hydrogen storage. However, there are still unknowns with further work and data acquisition required to fully assess the suitability of these salt bodies for hydrogen storage.

Geoscience Australia has transformed Intrepid Geophysics' Adavale Basin 3D Modelling dataset into Petrel. This Petrel dataset is part of Geoscience Australia's Exploring for the Future program. Files including a readme file and Petrel dataset that consists of formation surfaces, faults, borehole information and formation tops.

目前全球商业化生产的氢气均储存于盐穴（salt caverns）中。澳大利亚东部已知的厚层盐沉积体仅见于昆士兰州中部阿达瓦尔盆地（Adavale Basin）的博里盐层（Boree Salt）。该博里盐层主要由石盐（halite）组成，被认为适用于氢气储存。2021年，澳大利亚地质调查局（Geoscience Australia）委托无畏地球物理公司（Intrepid Geophysics）开展阿达瓦尔盆地的三维地质建模工作，重点针对该区域内的博里盐层矿体进行建模。本次构建的三维模型已识别出三个厚度可观（最大可达555米）的主要盐体，其可用于盐穴建设与氢气储存。上述盐体为澳大利亚东部已知的唯一盐体，是潜在的地下氢气储存战略资产。但仍存在诸多未知，需开展后续工作与数据采集以全面评估这些盐体是否适用于氢气储存。

澳大利亚地质调查局已将无畏地球物理公司的阿达瓦尔盆地三维建模数据集转换为Petrel格式。该Petrel数据集隶属于澳大利亚地质调查局的“未来勘探计划（Exploring for the Future program）”。数据集包含自述文件，以及由地层界面、断层、钻孔信息和地层顶界构成的Petrel数据集。
