Projects Adavale basin region

Last updated:5 September 2023

The Adavale Basin region is in southern central Queensland covering an area of approximately 142,000 km2. The Adavale Basin is under-explored yet is known to contain resources that can contribute to Australia’s emissions reductions and modern energy needs. The Adavale Basin contains sedimentary rocks spanning the Devonian Period and is overlain in parts by the geologically younger Galilee, Eromanga and Lake Eyre basins. A detailed examination of the Adavale Basin examining legacy data and acquiring new seismic, geochemical and new stratigraphic data is currently being undertaken as part of the Data Driven Discoveries program.

The TEGI data and information repository contains a compilation of current geological, energy, carbon capture and storage, groundwater, minerals and environmental information for the Adavale Basin. GIS data is available to download for analysis where available. A short guide is provided with each GIS dataset to explain the nature and application of the data. Reports outline the methodology used for environmental assessments in the TEGI Program.
