L157 Batten Trough (McArthur Basin) seismic survey, NT, 2002

Trace Energy Services was contracted by the Australian National Seismic Imaging Resource (ANSIR) to conduct the Batten Trough Seismic Survey in the Northern Territory. The survey consisted of two lines totalling 127.60 kms. The data were collected in late 2002 as part of a study to examine the fundamental basin architecture of the Southern McArthur Basin and the nature of underlying basement. Much of the seismic program was designed to test geometric models in this area, including tectonostratigraphy, fault systems and basement structure. The results have wider applicability because the basin is considered to be a little deformed analogue of the Western Succession of Mt Isa.
