Another year done and dusted, and what a year it was! There were some monumental changes here in the bug house, some you’ve heard about and some you have not… But before we reveal all, this year also marked an important milestone – our 40th year in business. From humble beginnings on Roger and Dianne’s […]

Open-file Palynological Datasets from the Great Artesian Basin
The largest open-file collection of fully reviewed and standardized palynological data in Australia is now available for download. As the demand for water increases due to population and industry growth, understanding the hydrogeological characteristics of aquifers becomes even more crucial to our future. For this reason, groundwater has become an important part of our portfolio […]
The Perth Basin: Challenging Misconceptions and Unveiling its Palynological Potential
Western Australia’s Perth Basin has emerged as a key piece of Australia’s energy puzzle and is a hub of ongoing exploration and discovery, with resources including oil and gas, CCUS, geothermal, groundwater, and hydrogen. But to truly unlock the basin’s potential, we must delve deeper into the realm of palynology – and clear up some […]
Perth Basin Field Trip – stromatolites, coal seams, and wild flowers
When: 16-18 September 2022 MGPalaeo are excited to be working with PESA WA on this fascinating adventure into the Perth Basin. And to whet your appetite for this, check out the fun had last time we ventured out this way: From the Pinnacles to post-glacial Permian Plays of the Perth Basin. From PESA WA: ‘With […]
An Introduction to Biostratigraphy (one-day course)
Biostratigraphy is a fundamental stratigraphic tool for age dating and correlation in the oil and gas sector, and is increasingly being applied to CCUS, mining and minerals, and hydrogeological projects. Used to its full potential, biostratigraphy not only provides high resolution correlations between wells, but also places constraints on depositional environments, thermal maturity, source rock […]
Acreage Release Data Packs & the Importance of Standardized Biostratigraphic Data
We often field questions regarding the differences between our palynological datasets and those available open-file, so we thought it could be a good time to explain this as we announce our Acreage Release Data Packs, and to show why standardized palynological data is crucial for your geological modelling. Open file biostratigraphic data is often a […]
APT and MGPalaeo in Australian oil and gas partnership
MGPalaeo have entered into a joint venture agreement with petroleum systems specialist Applied Petroleum Technology (APT) to provide integrated multi-client and post-well analyses for E&P companies operating in Australia. The parties’ first study will focus on the Roebuck Basin on the central North West Shelf of Australia. “To date there has been very little innovation […]

The AUSTRALIS Viewer and A New Core Workshop
There is a lot happening in the bug house this month: we’ve recently launched our all-new AUSTRALIS Viewer platform, plus we have two integrated core workshops coming up, with registrations now being accepted. The AUSTRALIS Viewer Our new AUSTRALIS Viewer lets you explore all the wells with fully reviewed and standardized well data from spud […]
